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.
