Knitting Patterns for Baby Blankets - Easy Patterns for Beginners

PEACH UNICORN DESIGNS

There’s nothing quite like knitting your own baby blanket and gifting it to a special little person, it is a big achievement, a fantastic hobby and a lovely thing to do. But if you're new to knitting, the thought of creating a baby blanket from scratch can be intimidating. That's where this collection of easy knitting patterns for baby blankets comes in. I designed this collection especially with a beginner knitter in mind and for experienced knitters who love to knit and watch TV at the same time!

The first section of patterns in this blog use only knit and purl stitches which makes them perfect for beginners who are looking to grow their confidence. Once you have mastered your knit and purl stitch and have made a few beginner blankets, take a look at our simple repeat ‘beginner to lace’ blankets, they are very sweet and are lovely to make. All of these baby blanket patterns come with step-by-step instructions and have a simple but effective repeat pattern, allowing you to create truly stunning baby blankets for your little ones to snuggle up in. 

So take some time, explore all the patterns, find your favourite ones, grab your knitting needles, yarn and get knitting! I am always available for questions, comment below, send me an email or find me on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. I would love to hear from you! 

Happy Knitting!
