Easy Quick Knit Baby Blanket Pattern Instructions
This easy baby blanket knitting pattern calls for worsted weight knitting yarn or can be knit with Sport weight yarn that's been doubled. I find it's always a good idea to create a sample swatch when using any yarn I have not used before. Don't waste time and yarn, use your test square to use as a dishcloth!

Fine, Soft Baby Yarn for Babies with Sensitive Skin

Acrylic yarn will work, but natural fibers are always a welcome gift and have such a lovely hand when your sewing project is completed. Custom items knitted with wool yarn are not as easy care and may make baby itch! Cotton yarn or a soft as butter cashmere baby blanket whipped up with some washable cashmere yarn may be a better choice for a newborn baby's crib set.
There's nothing worse than spending hours and hours on a project only to be disappointed in the results. While this can be time consuming, it may make your hobby much less expensive due to the elimination of rejected pieces. Our time and skill should not be regarded as cheap.

We want nothing less than perfection when knitting a soft place for that sweet baby to rest his or her little head. With all the love we pour into our free baby knitting patterns, what's a little test run going to hurt in the long run? Once I find a combination of yarn, gauge, needles and baby patterns that I love I tend to repeat them over and over. I even keep a journal so that I can refer back and remember which items really turned out well and were received well at showers as gifts. OK GET YOUR NEEDLES READY! LET'S START KNITTING!
