This textured knitted baby blanket is very easy to knit, the pattern only uses the knit and purl stitches, so is perfect if you are a beginner.

This textured knitted baby blanket was specially made for a baby boy and because I wanted to have it for a long time I made it bigger then a baby blanket so it’s more a lapghan. Is the perfect gift for a baby shower but this pattern will look beautiful if you want to knit a blanket for you or for someone you love. This is a fun project to make.

The pattern is perfect if you want to knit a blanket for a man too. The basic stitches gives the patterns a beautiful texture and the look of this lapghan goes great with any interior decor.

For the edge I’ve crocheted one row of single crochet with a 6 mm hook.

I’ve knitted the blanket with the yarn in two. After you knit 250g (5 balls) take the next skein of the light blue color and one of the turquoise and knit together so you can have a smooth passing from the first color to the second.
