The baby blanket is perfect for beginner knitters and is a great project to knit this winter. Knit-up a baby blanket and get the added benefit of keeping yourself warm as you knit 🙂 It's one of the reasons why I enjoy knitting afghans in the winter. The completed portion of the afghan sits in my lap and keeps me warm.
Use a washable yarn so that the blanket is easy to keep clean. That way mum can throw the baby blanket in the laundry and not have to worry about it shrinking on her.
I hope you enjoy knitting this soft baby afghan.
