This loosely knit and beautiful baby blanket is extraordinarily simple and quick to make. It is soft and warm and perfect for draping around that little bundle of joy.
It requires exactly one ball of Homespun, of whatever color you choose. As stated above, the blanket stretches easily to fit your needs. Whatever your experience as a knitter, if all you know how to do is knit, purl, cast on, and cast off, you can make this blanket easily, and if you are a very proficient knitter, you will find this pattern simply flies off your needles.
(The blanket is pictured above with a cutie on it for scale. I apologize for not being able to fit the whole blanket into the screen, but about 2/3--3/4 is pictured.)
Enjoy!
