Simple Knit Baby Blankets

There’s nothing nicer than a simple knit baby blanket. The following free patterns require only basic knitting stitches, like knits and purls.

So, if you can knit garter stitch and/or stockinette stitch, you can make these hand knit blankets. Let's take a look at some simple knit blanket patterns.

You’ll need circular knitting needles and stitch markers, and you’ll need to know how to read a knitting pattern.

You’ll knit back and forth on circular needles, but you won’t join in the round. Since you’ll also need to cast on a large number of stitches, here’s a knitting tutorial that’ll take the guesswork out of how much yarn for the long tail cast on.

It uses Universal Yarn’s Adore (discontinued), which is a light worsted weight superwash merino yarn; this means it's a machine washable yarn. It’s also Oeko-Tex certified for your baby’s safety. I've included a yarn substitute below.
