There’s something incredibly rewarding about creating something with your own two hands, especially when it’s as comforting and cozy as a knitted blanket. If you’re a beginner eager to dive into the world of knitting, this simple blanket is the perfect project to start with. Not only does it allow you to learn the basics of knitting, but it also results in a warm and functional piece that you can cherish for years to come. I made this blanket for my little guy, Hudson. I chose primary colours as a playful way to add some additional personality to the project so change up the colors to change up the style!

Pattern Notes:
This pattern uses a circular needle but worked back and forth across the needle (you will not join). Changing colors and attention to edging and finishing bring elevate this pattern to extraordinary. We’ll point out these tips along the way.
