Criss-Cross Basic Blanket 1x1 is a cozy baby blanket featuring a woven basket-like pattern. Its simple interlacing lines create a warm and comforting feel.

The blanket is made using a seamless knitting technique, knitting blocks sequentially without cutting the yarn, so no sewing or weaving in many ends is needed. It looks beautiful on both sides, making it practical and versatile.

This design allows creative freedom with colors — use solid yarn to emphasize the texture, gradient yarn for smooth transitions, or combine leftover yarn scraps for a unique look.
