Introducing a chic and simple two-colour baby blanket, the perfect gift for the newest little person in your life! Crafted with love, this elegant baby blanket features stunning mosaic knitting that creates a delightful texture to engage tiny fingers. With its stylish design, this blanket will surely brighten up any nursery, making it a must-have accessory for your baby's room. Designed with practicality in mind, this versatile blanket is perfect for strolls in the stroller or as a cozy playmat for your little one.

This square baby blanket is knit in two stages: first, the central panel is created by knitting flat in garter stitch from the mosaic chart. After completing the panel, stitches are picked up around all four edges, allowing you to join and knit in garter stitch in the round while increasing at each corner for a lovely finish.

This pattern is designed to fit one size, with dimensions of approximately 35” x 35” (89cm x 89cm) when blocked, making it an ideal size for babies and toddlers alike. For this project, you’ll need a total of 1540 m / 1684 yds of DK weight yarn in two contrasting colours: 880 m / 962 yds for the main colour (MC) and 660 m / 722 yds for the contrasting colour (CC). The sample shown is knit using Drops Cotton Merino DK in the lovely shades of Mustard Yellow and Medium Grey, providing a delightful visual appeal.

To ensure the best results, use a 4mm / US 8 circular needle, with a minimum length of 40” (100cm), or choose the size necessary to achieve gauge. Additionally, don’t forget to gather necessary materials such as stitch markers and a yarn needle to assist you in this enjoyable knitting experience!

This beautiful two-colour baby blanket not only makes for a thoughtful gift but also adds a touch of style to any nursery. Start knitting today and create cherished memories with this delightful baby blanket pattern!
