YARN: For this project, we recommend using Bernat Premium in a lovely Lilac shade, with approximately 850 yards (777 meters) needed for completion. If you prefer, any heavy worsted weight yarn will also work wonderfully for this baby blanket pattern.

NEEDLE SIZE: To create this stunning blanket, you will need US size 9 (5.5 mm) 40” (101 cm) circular needles or straight needles, which allow for easy handling of the larger project size.

FINISHED SIZE: When completed, this baby blanket will measure approximately 36” x 36” (91 cm x 91 cm), making it the ideal size for swaddling or cuddling. It's perfect for cribs, strollers, or as a cozy lap blanket for toddlers.

ALSO REQUIRED: Don’t forget to gather your essential knitting supplies, which include two stitch markers and a couple of darning needles for weaving in those pesky ends.

NOTES: Keep in mind that this pattern works in multiples of 8+1 (the border is not included in this count). If you decide to create a larger or smaller blanket but would like to keep the same border size, just remember to add 16 stitches to your total count accordingly.

Get ready to fall in love with every stitch as you knit this charming baby blanket! Happy knitting!
