YAYA'S DESIGNS QUICK AND EASY BABY BLANKET
A pattern for beginners & those who need to make a baby gift asap!
A quick and easy baby blanket for the minimalist knitter and giff receiver. This blanket knits up fast, looks & feels beautiful, is easy enough to do while watching TV and will be well received as it is machine washable.... because in reality, which new mother wants a baby blanket you can't throw in with a load of dirty baby clothes? The multihued yarn makes this blanket look more detailed & complicated than it is, while the simplicity of this pattern does not compete with the natural beauty of the yarns' complexion.
