Easy Baby Blanket – Knit-along – Square 8 – Raised Stripes Stitch

Hello again everyone! Slowly but surely, I add a new pattern for my KAL baby blanket series. Here’s the eighth pattern in the series. I call this stitch Raise Stripes and it’s really simple and adds some lovely texture to the blanket.

This pattern is worked in colour 4, or medium brown (the feature colour for this row of the blanket) and fawn, or colour 2, as a contrasting colour. Here’s a visual of the plan for blanket (today’s pattern will be one of the solid blocks on the second row).

Newborn baby days are hectic, but my little man is giving me some good chunks of sleep at night and everything is seeming just a tiiiiiny bit easier now. Baby boy is a delight, smiling more and making his parents and big sister so happy when we get to see that toothless grin. He’s so great. Let’s hope I can finish this blanket for him before he stops needing a pram blanket, hey? 😉
