Getting Started
This delicately hued baby blanket is a lovely project for beginning knitters of all ages—it’s easy to knit and the yarn is smooth to the touch. The drop stitch makes soft puffs of yarn to accommodate little toes.
This afghan is great for using leftover yarns since the four rows of the color pattern use small amounts of yarn.
