Easy Basketweave Baby Blanket

I love making Baby Blankets  ........... This is my latest ! 

Easy Basketweave Baby Blanket 

A lovely gender neutral design that is easy to knit, and looks lovely too.

This is one of many versions of basketweave stitch.
I used 4.5mm needles to give a softer looser drape.

  1. I once, many years ago, knitted a jumper for my eldest son using this pattern. Wish I could get a pattern like that again.
    Very beautiful.
