Lion Hearted Baby Blanket

The Lion Hearted Baby Blanket is a stroller and carseat sized baby blanket pattern.  It is a jungle and lion themed baby blanket pattern that is knit all in one piece from the bottom up. Beginning with a garter stitch border, there are 5 sections, separated by garter stitch borders. Each section has written directions, including the section with the chart.

For you to knit this pattern you only need to know how to knit and purl! All sections are made with combinations of knit and purl stitches.

This jungle themed blanket is fun to knit and suitable for the intermediate knitter or adventurous beginner. Tuck this baby blanket into a basket with some jungle animal books and it will definitely be a hit at your next baby shower!

Have you tried Lion Brand Basic Stitch Acrylic Yarn? It’s another great blanket yarn that goes in the washer and dryer and just gets softer and softer with time.
