Country Bliss Baby Blanket

August 30, 2018

Last month I received the wonderful news that my brother and his wife are expecting their second baby boy!! -So I’m back in baby blanket designing mode!  I hope you guys enjoy this pattern as much as I did.  It is repetitive and simple, which means you don’t have to concentrate too hard.   This baby blanket makes me think of a rustic cottage in the woods.  If you are looking to make something soft and snuggly with a countrified charm, then this is the blanket pattern for you!

I have written out and posted the free pattern for this baby blanket below on this page. You can also purchase the ad free instant download PDF file for easy printing and reading by clicking the button below.

    Such a beautiful, “welcome baby” blanket. I don’t have anyone expecting right now, but I want to make it anyway! I will enjoy the knitting and have the perfect gift, ready when I need it. Thank you! ?

    Looks lovely and I look forward to making this blanket. Though, I usually use 3 or 4 weight yarn with size US 6, 7 or 8 needles. Do you have size adjustments for other yarn weights and needle sizes or is it up to me to make those adjustments? Thank you,

    Hi! it might be a silly question but i have never knit a blanket before (only crochet!),… how do you keep all these stitches on the needle?

      Not a silly question at all. A lot of people will use circular needles, even though you still knit back and forth since the cord will hold the stitches. You can also find longer knitting needles.

      Yes, I would think that would be the perfect width for a throw.

    Quick question…do you double the yarn? I thought I remembered seeing that written, but don’t see it in the PDF

      Hi Lynda, nope, you do not need to double the yarn.
