I knit this simple garter stitch blanket last year sometime and published it as a free pattern on Instagram for those who follow me there, with the full and certain intention of adding it to my free patterns page here too.
I have no idea why it fell off my to-do list, I can only assume that life, combined with my butterfly brain conspired against me.
In any case, I wanted to add it here as it’s such a lovely, straightforward knit. Ideal for a beginner or for those times when you just want a bit of relaxing, stress-free knitting. I knit this small lap blanket with DK yarn on 4mm needles but you could easily adapt it to work with fingering weight yarn (suggested 3mm needles) or worsted/aran (on 4.5/5mm needles, respectively).
It produced a perfect little square blanket - ideal for baby knitting as well in an appropriate yarn.
You can find the blanket over on my free pattern page, or it’s written out here (below) as well if you wanted to bookmark it for later.
