5. Easy Baby Blanket

Why it’s great for beginners:
While large, baby blankets use only knit stitches and are a comforting, repetitive project.

Materials Needed:

  • Soft acrylic or cotton blend yarn
  • US size 9–10 needles (5.5–6mm)

Steps:

  1. Cast on 100 stitches.
  2. Knit every row for a garter stitch blanket.
  3. Continue until it reaches 30–36 inches in length.
  4. Bind off and weave in ends.

Pinterest Tip: Lay it in a nursery setting with neutral tones, plush toys, and baby accessories.
