Knitting baby blanket?
I am a beginning knitter. I have done some scarves and decided to knit a baby blanket as a gift for soon to be parents in the family. I have already checked out lionbrand.com and some of the usual pattern websites and can’t find anything that jumps out at me. If you know of any sites that may be of some help I’d appreciate it. Also, which do you think is easier, knitting the blanket on straight needles or circular? Thanks!!!!
Definatly on circular needles. I have a lot of younger cousins and I’ve made each one a blanket. What I usually do is garter (just knitting) stitch border around the edge so first knit like 4″ in garter. then I make the center either ribbed (k2 p2) or stockinet(k a row, p a row) while continuing the garter stitch around the edge. I then knit another 4″ and then cast-off. If you take your blanket to a fabric store, you can have them put a satin over the garter stitch so the baby can chew on the blanket but still have it be soft.
I suggest Debbie Bliss Cashmerino because it’s chunky (meaning you knit less) and it’s machine washable.
