Simple Baby Blanket #2 is a quick knit that is perfect for using up your leftover worsted weight yarns from other projects that you just don’t quite know what to do with otherwise. It features a lovely ripple pattern that is easy to memorize making it great for TV knitting! You can easily make this larger by adding additional repeats of the stitch pattern. It is perfect for use in a car seat or stroller since it’s not too bulky but very warm. I have included both written and charted instructions for the stitch pattern which is from “The Complete Photo Guide to Knitting” by Margaret Hubert.

Happy Knitting!
