Sunshine Day Baby Throw
Welcome the newest addition to your family with this delightful Sunshine Day Baby Throw. This simple knitted baby blanket will add a splash of color to any room and is sure to be a favorite. The random dashes of color in this easy baby blanket pattern are caused by knitting with two different colored yarns at the same time. The use of multiple yarns makes this blanket twice as warm. This project is perfect for beginning knitters; if you do a knit stitch, you can make this delightful throw.
