Cuddly Soft Baby Blanket

Designed to be relaxing to knit and beautiful to give.

There’s something special about a knitting pattern you can knit almost by heart.

The Cuddly Soft Baby Blanket is one of those patterns. With its soft, squishy texture and easy-to-memorize stitch pattern, it’s the perfect project for relaxing at the end of the day. I’ve knit this blanket while watching television, chatting with friends, and traveling. It’s one of those patterns you can simply enjoy.

If you can knit, purl, yarn over, and knit two together, you can knit this blanket. Whether you’re knitting your first baby blanket or your fiftieth, this pattern is relaxing, fun to knit, and easy to memorize. It works up quickly and makes a thoughtful baby shower gift that will be treasured for years.

The pattern includes five blanket sizes and can easily be adapted to make a blanket that’s wider, narrower, longer, or shorter, making it easy to create the perfect size for your needs. It also looks beautiful in solid, tonal, self-striping, hand-dyed, or variegated yarns, so every blanket has its own personality.
