Modern Lace Baby Blanket

This stunning baby blanket pattern is designed to be knit from the center outwards, allowing you to create a beautifully square blanket that can be easily adjusted to your desired size, whether bigger or smaller. Perfect for newborns and toddlers, this blanket not only keeps your little one cozy but also adds a touch of elegance to any nursery.

The design features a very simple yet charming lace pattern that is completely reversible. Each side presents an equally attractive look—ideal for modern aesthetics and versatile enough to match any decor. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, this project offers an engaging challenge while delivering a stunning final product.

This afghan is designed to be nice and stretchy, making it perfect for wrapping around your precious bundle of joy. You'll love the way it hugs your baby while providing warmth and comfort.

Crafted using circular knitting needles, this is a quick project that showcases a lovely modern lace pattern. The blanket is worked using circular needles (80 cm or 32” in length and 5 mm or size 8). When finished, it measures approximately 31.5” square, making it an ideal size for everyday use.

**Materials Needed:** To create this beautiful baby blanket, you’ll need worsted weight wool yarn with a lovely gradient effect. You'll require about 400 g of yarn, but it's always wise to get a spare ball just in case. Recommended yarns include Cascade Casablanca or Drops Big Delight.

In addition to the yarn, gather your 5 mm circular knitting needles—longer needles, ideally at least 92 cm (36”), work best for this project. If you’re not using the magic loop cast-on method, having a set of 5 mm double-pointed needles can be beneficial (though they are optional).

Don’t forget essential tools such as stitch markers or waste yarn, which I find easier to use for tracking your stitches. With this simple yet elegant baby blanket pattern, you'll create a cherished piece that can be passed down through generations. Perfect for gifting at baby showers or as a personal keepsake, this blanket will surely become a beloved item in any family's collection.
