A quick and easy baby blanket, perfect for gift knitting or in preparation for your own impending arrival. The blanket is knit flat using simple stitches so this would make a wonderful beginner project.

The rainbow stripes keep it fun, bright and gender neutral but that doesn’t mean you have to stick to these colours - go ahead and play around with your own palette (I think an ombre effect with different shades of one colour would look really effective!)
