Blocks and Ridges Baby Blanket

Techniques Used: Knits, Purls

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this free knitting pattern is perfect for creating a cozy and beautiful project. I have always found that using worsted weight yarn with size 8 US needles yields a comfortable width of approximately 32"-35", allowing you to easily knit to your desired length without worrying about gauge. It’s a great technique for those who love to knit without the hassle of meticulous measurements!

For this project, I utilized the long tail cast-on method, paired with Elizabeth Zimmerman's Sewn bind-off, which creates a beautifully finished edge that's both functional and decorative. These two techniques are remarkably similar, but feel free to use any cast-on and bind-off techniques that suit your personal style and preferences!

The yarn I chose for this pattern is Bernat Premium in Warm Rose, which offers a soft and luxurious feel, but you can substitute it with any worsted weight soft yarn in your favorite color. This versatility means you can customize this project to match your wardrobe or home decor perfectly.
