Little Dove Lace Baby Blanket FREE Knitting Pattern

#6. Little Dove Lace Baby Blanket Free Knitting Pattern

This blanket is knit using a simple pattern repeat that is framed by rows of seed stitch. The simple design in a luxurious yarn makes Little Dove the perfect blanket to snuggle a precious little one, or to use as a lap blanket to spend a cozy afternoon on a sofa.

The width and height can be easily adjusted by increasing (or decreasing) the number of repeats that are knit, therefore the gauge for Little Dove is not crucial.

Sam’s Baby Blanket FREE Knitting Pattern

#8. Sam’s Baby Blanket Free Knitting Pattern

This blanket uses a very popular stitch pattern, found in virtually all of my stitch dictionaries, with different names in each one. There's a lesson in that. You can pick any stitch you like from a dictionary and alternate it with the stockinette squares, altering the size of the stockinette square to match the stitch count of your lace square. 
Easy.
