Knit Chessboard Baby Blanket

Knit Chessboard Baby Blanket
"A knitted blanket made with only knit and purl stitches can be a wonderful project for both beginners and experienced knitters alike. Determine the desired size of your blanket and calculate the number of stitches and rows needed to achieve it. Knit a gauge swatch to ensure your stitch tension matches the pattern's requirements. Adjust your needle size as necessary to achieve the correct gauge. Consider adding a border or edging to your blanket for a finished look."
