Knitting the Puffy Pockets Baby Blanket

Knitting the Puffy Pockets Baby Blanket available on Ravelry and Etsy.

Are you on the hunt for the perfect blanket to keep your little ones cozy and warm?   What if I told you that there was a blanket specifically designed for maximum comfort and warmth? A blanket with puffy pockets of warmth that will make cold days and air conditioned spaces a thing of the past for your baby?

The Puffy Pockets Baby Blanket, made with Hobby Lobby’s “I Love This Yarn” in Spa is a fun knit.  In just 6 simple rows, you can create a blanket that will not only keep your little one warm, but will also be a beautiful addition to any nursery.  Begin with a border, knit the blanket, end with a border, then bind off with the stretchy bindoff method.

Where did this little gem come from?

Years ago I found my mother’s knitting bag and in there was an unfinished baby blanket project. A small crinkled piece of paper listed the 6 row repeat for this blanket. I picked it up and started knitting per her small bit of instructions and ended up with the most wonderful, squishy soft stroller sized blanket.

And on top of that, this baby blanket is textured, puffy and reversible. It can be knit as wide or as long as you want.

Use a larger needle for a more light and airy blanket, or a smaller needle for a warmer, denser blanket. Instructions are included for stroller size through large crib size.

You can use any DK, worsted or aran weight yarn.

The puffy pockets of warmth that you knit with this pattern are so squishy and soft, you will just love it. This blanket just zips along in no time at all and is easy enough for a beginner but interesting enough for even the most seasoned knitter!
