How to Knit an Easy Baby Blankket
Share this post
I selected these patterns because they were rated easy by other knitters or labeled easy by the designer. And, though some of these patterns are great for beginners, some do require knowledge of stitches beyond just knit and purl.

This is my personal knitting blog. I post links to patterns I like by other designers on other websites. I don't own the patterns or distribute them. I'm a late-blooming knitter who learned to knit as an adult. I believe in knitting everywhere - even on the Iron Throne!
