Shadow Pine Baby Blanket
Shadow Pine Blanket
Skill Level: ★★ Easy / Beginner
The Shadow Pine Blanket is a soft and stylish baby blanket featuring an elegant shadow-knit pattern. Its textured look and cozy feel make it ideal both for everyday use and as a thoughtful handmade gift for baby showers or newborn celebrations.
This pattern is designed for knitters familiar with the basic knit and purl stitches who are ready to try something new. The shadow pattern is achieved by combining knit and purl stitches through both front and back loops — no complicated techniques required.

It’s best to use soft, hypoallergenic yarns for baby items — cotton, acrylic, merino, bamboo, or blends.

Size 68 x 68 cm (26.8 x 26.8 in): approx. 260 g (≈681 yds / 623 m)
→ You’ll need 3 skeins (100 g each)
