Here it is! The LAST stitch in the knit-along baby blanket series! Keep watching this blog because in my next post I’ll show you how to put the blanket all together and do a ten-stitch edging to frame all your hard work and make the blanket sit flat.
But for today, I hope you enjoy this pattern for the ladder stitch blanket square.

Easy Baby Blanket – Knit-along – Square 14 – Intarsia Star
UPDATE: This Knit-Along is now finished. Click here to get all the patterns for this blanket for free.
Time for the 14th square in my knit-along baby blanket. This time we’re knitting an Intarsia star. Isn’t it cute? And you’ll be pleased (or disappointed, depending on how you feel about Intarsia) that this is the last Intarsia pattern for this project!
BUT, there are still two more patterns to come, to finish the bottom row of the blanket.
Here’s a picture of the graphic of what the blanket will look like. I’ve been releasing two Intarsia (picture) patterns followed by two textured stitch patterns, so I’m not doing them in order as they appear in the blanket. I’ve had a couple of people be a bit confused about this, so I’m sorry I didn’t clarify sooner! We will sew it all up later and I’ll show you exactly where all the blanket blocks go when we put it all together.

Easy Baby Blanket – Knit-along – Square 12 – Two-Colour Star Stitch
UPDATE: This Knit-Along is now finished. Click here to get all the patterns for this blanket for free.
Hi everyone! Time for another pattern in my baby blanket knit-along! Today I’m sharing the 12th square for the blanket – this Two-Colour Star-Stitch pattern.
You’ll be using light brown (colour 3) and fawn (colour 2) for this pattern. It’s a quick knit, a little bit fancy, but not too hard for a newer knitter. Without further ado, here’s the pattern.

17/12/19: ERRATA: A previous version of this pattern gave incorrect instructions for the number of rows the work, stated the wrong stitch pattern, and gave the wrong number of rows to work. The current version available to download below is now correct.

Easy Baby Blanket – Knit-along – Square 11 – Eyelet Crescents Stitch
UPDATE: This Knit-Along is now finished. Click here to get all the patterns for this blanket for free.
Hey folks, time for the 11th knit-along in my baby blanket series! This time we’re doing this oh-so-pretty stitch pattern called Eyelet Crescents. No, they’re not cables, just some clever placement of decrease stitches. I love how knitting can make so man shapes with just a few basic stitches! This blanket square, and the next square that I’ll share, are the closest thing to open work we’ll get in this project.
You’ll be using your third lightest shade (colour 3, or light brown) for this blanket block. It uses stocking stitch, yarnovers, and left-leaning decreases. I have put them in as slip, slip, knit (ssk) but you can also do slip 1, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over (sl1, k1, psso) if you prefer.

Easy Baby Blanket – Knit-along – Square 10 – Intarsia Sun
UPDATE: This Knit-Along is now finished. Click here to get all the patterns for this blanket for free.
Hey guys, it’s me again! I’m back with the 10th square for my knit-along baby blanket. This time it’s this intarsia sun, and it incorporates a little bit of embroidery as well as knitting. I hope you enjoy it!
Here’s the plan for the blanket so you can see where it fits in. As you can see, it’s on the third row down. That means, like the flower pattern from last time, we’ll be using colour 3 (light brown) as our feature colour.
The Chain Stitch
You’ll be doing a little embroidery in this pattern to make the sun’s rays. If you’re new to embroidery, don’t be scared! This is not a difficult stitch and it’s pretty much foolproof because I show you in the chart exactly where to put the embroidery.
The stitch you’ll be using is called the chain stitch, and you c an find instructions on how to do it by clicking here.

Hi guys! I’m back with another knit-along baby blanket block. This time it’s this cute Intarsia flower.
We’re up to our ninth block for this blanket, and we’re on the third row down. That means we’re using colour 3 (light brown) as our feature colour, with colour 1 (cream) as the background as always.
Here’s a graphic of what the blanket will look like when it’s done (the solid colour blocks are the textured block we’ve been doing).

Easy Baby Blanket – Knit-along – Square 8 – Raised Stripes Stitch
UPDATE: This Knit-Along is now finished. Click here to get all the patterns for this blanket for free.
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? 😉

Easy Baby Blanket – Knit-along – Square 7 – Baby Cables
UPDATE: This Knit-Along is now finished. Click here to get all the patterns for this blanket for free.
Hi all! Time for another baby blanket block. This time it’s this simple Baby Cables pattern. In fact they’re not real cables at all, so they look impressive minus the fiddling with cable needles!
This block is going on the second row from the top of our blanket, so you’ll be using colour 4, or the second darkest shade if you’re doing a gradient colour scheme like me. As a refresher, here’s a diagram for what the blanket will look like. This block is going to go between the cloud and the duck when we put the blanket all together.

I hope you enjoy this new blanket block! Thank you so much for your patience as these patterns slowly trickle out. Life is a juggling act with a toddler and a six week old! Hopefully I’ll have all the patterns uploaded before my baby moves out of home ☺☺☺.
