The Puffy Pockets Baby Blanket Knitting Pattern

The Puffy Pockets Baby Blanket is named thanks to its puffy pockets of warmth that will keep little ones warm on cold days and air conditioned spaces as well.  The above project has been knit with Hobby Lobby’s “I Love This Yarn” in Jelly Bean.

It is a simple 6 row repeat and easy to learn

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!

The Puffy Pockets Baby Blanket Knitting Pattern is available on Ravelry and Etsy.
