Starry Night Baby Blanket Knitting Pattern

July 3, 2019

After you guys told me how much you loved the Sweethearts Baby Blanket pattern, I decided to come up with another blanket pattern that uses knits and pearls to create a repeating shape. This time I chose stars! If you’re looking to create the perfect sleepy time baby blanket, I know you’ll love this super fun pattern.


I have written out and posted the free pattern for the Starry Night Baby Blanket below on this page.

    I do not have a baby to knit this for. But my son’s dog Miss Ellie who is 9 yrs old loves her blanket. I think she will enjoy this one as well. She is all the time cold.

    This is so cute. Thank you: silly question maybe but does the 29” get knit out of the number of stitches first cast (109) or do you do it twice and join two pieces together? TIY

      You’re welcome Wendy! Yes, the 29″ inches is from the number cast on.
