15+ Modern Baby Blanket Knitting Patterns

by Vivienne Harding

PEACH UNICORN DESIGNS

Hello fellow knitters!!

Welcome to my knitting heaven. Knitting is where it all started for me. I was 10 years old when I learnt to knit, fast forward around 35 years and here I am about to show you my collection of 15+ modern baby blanket knitting patterns that I designed for you. Sometimes I can’t quite believe it!

You'll love the versatility of this collection. I have fun bobble stitch blanket patterns, beautiful and intricate lace blankets patterns, and blanket patterns where you have the option to use intarsia and cabling techniques. If you are a complete beginner you can find a few blankets that use only knit and purl, these are perfect for building your confidence (be sure to check out numbers 13 & 15) or feel free to check out our beginner knitting pattern collection here!

This collection of baby blanket knitting patterns are stunning and all one-of-a-kind pieces. Each blanket has been designed as a one-piece blanket, the blanket and border are knit at the same time, so no sewing is required, making them all nice and comfortable knits!

I have been inspired to design all these blankets from the things my children enjoyed growing up, nursery rhymes, numbers, shapes, colours and popular phrases. I am sure your little ones will love them too. So, grab a cup of tea and sit and explore all the blankets in this collection and find the perfect one to suit your knitting style. I can’t wait for you to transform your love for knitting into a beautiful baby blanket using one of these patterns!

Happy Knitting!
