Darby Baby Blanket Knitting Pattern

Description

This Darby Baby Blanket Knitting Pattern is striking visually and yet is a pure pleasure to knit.  It uses a 2-row pattern repeat giving it a soothing, easy rhythm using only knit and purl stitches.  It is a great piece to knit while listening to music.  I knitted the first sample of this design at a knitting retreat with 35+ knitters chatting…that’s how easy this pattern is to knit!  I chose 100% cotton for this blanket.  It is soft on tender baby skin and washes and dries easily.  Darby is a pattern you will want to knit again and again.  It would be beautiful in any color, customized to baby’s nursery.
