Snuggle Baby Blanket Knitting Pattern

Make a Baby Blanket Worth Keeping Forever

You've been searching for a baby gift that looks truly special, not just sweet. This is that blanket. The scalloped lace border with bobble details makes it look far more involved than the construction actually is.

It finishes as a square you can knit to any size you need, so nothing is locked in before you start. Whether it ends up in a crib, a bassinet, or a gift box, it lands exactly right.

Skill Level: Experienced
Finished Size: Square, any size. Example sizes from the pattern: approximately 40x40 cm (16x16 in) or 43x43 cm (17x17 in), depending on your chosen stitch and gauge.

• The border and bobble edging are knitted separately and attached as you go, so the intimidating-looking lace builds itself one section at a time without overwhelming you mid-project.
• No size is locked in at the start. You knit the base to your preferred measurement, so the blanket suits a newborn, a lap, or anything in between.
• This is the kind of gift people hold onto. The lace edging looks handmade in the best sense, and the light drape of a mohair-weight yarn means it stays soft against baby skin.

        "I was nervous about the border but it came together beautifully. Totally worth it."
