Sweethearts Baby Blanket Knitting Pattern

June 20, 2019

The spring/summer of baby blankets continues! I’ve had the thought of incorporating hearts into a baby blanket for a long time. Hearts are the symbol for love…. and whats more lovable than a little baby right?!

I was honestly sad when I finished with this pattern because it was so much fun to knit up and see the little hearts forming as I went along. Once again, my yarn of choice was Knit Picks Mighty Stitch Worsted Weight Yarn. I love this yarn for so many reasons. Its affordable, soft, washer and dryer friendly, and there are so many colors to choose from!


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

    Thank you for this pattern, I am almost done knitting this in the lemon color of Lion brand Feels Like Butta yarn. It is so beautiful and soft and I will be giving it as a baby gift for a shower in February. I really like using the straight needles as my hands hurt from the short tips on circulars knitting blankets.

      Hi Kerry, you can definitely use circular needles for this pattern – nothing changes.
