This textured blanket is beginner friendly with video tutorials linked in the pattern to help you cast on and bind off. Choose a beautiful DK weight yarn like West Wool Tandem to knit the fun textured stitches. Diagonal ribbing, moss stitch, and broken ribbing are all framed by garter stitch sections. You can knit as many textured sections as you like to customize the length of the blanket. Choose between three sizes for this pattern. The small baby blanket makes a great gift for new families. The medium size is a big lap blanket for cozy knit nights on the couch. The large size is perfect for a large bedspread. I-cord edges frame the perimeter of this easy to knit rectangular blanket.
