Nina's Blanket

This striking unisex baby blanket knitting pattern is the perfect project for welcoming the special little one in your life. With its plush ribbed borders, this blanket offers a cozy backdrop for the modern graphic herringbone pattern, which is crafted using a simple slip-stitch technique, allowing you to work with only one color at a time. Choose two solid colors to enhance the contemporary aesthetic of this beautiful baby blanket.

The design features the bottom border, body, and top border of the blanket worked flat in a single piece using DK-weight yarn for a soft and luxurious feel. After completing these sections, each side border is expertly picked up and knitted to finish the design elegantly. The pattern includes instructions for a carriage blanket size as well as a lap throw size, making it versatile for various uses. If you desire a larger blanket, easily customize your project by adding extra repeats of the stylish herringbone pattern and continue until your blanket reaches the desired length.

One photo in the pattern illustrates the back side of the herringbone design, showcasing the cleanly finished edge achieved by slipping the pattern stitches, ensuring a polished look from every angle! Additionally, I’ve included a black-and-white version of one of the pattern visuals to demonstrate how stunning this blanket can look in a unisex color palette. This blanket is ideal for baby showers, new parents, or as a thoughtful gift for any special occasion!

Whether you’re a seasoned knitting enthusiast or a beginner looking to hone your skills, this free knitting pattern is a wonderful addition to your project collection. Get started on creating a modern and stylish blanket that is sure to be cherished for years to come!
