Multicolored Baby Blanket Patterns
It is good for babies to be exposed to many colors and textures in their young life. These baby patterns will be just the way to go to make both happen in one lovely blanket. These multicolored patterns include those that require joining yarn of new colors and those that use a variegated yarn. Either way, these patterns will step you through the knitting process, and you will be proud of the results.
From patterns that are knit in squares and joined to patterns knit from corner to corner, you will find something you love making!
Chunky Knit Blanket Patterns
There is nothing better than a thick, cozy blanket when you need some comfort and warmth. The same is true for baby. That’s why you should make these chunky knit blanket patterns for all of the little ones in your life.
Patterns made with bulky or super bulky yarn work up super fast and are endlessly cozy for little ones. Both of these perks are reasons to make these patterns today. Plus, when you cuddle with baby, you get to cuddle with the blanket, too.
