UPDATE August 16, 2020: An error in square 15 (Basketweave stitch) has been corrected. Previously the stitch count and instructions for basketweave stitch were incorrect. The version linked below is correct.
Time for the second to last pattern in my knit-along baby blanket series. Today we’re knitting a nice simple Basketweave Stitch blanket block. I hope you enjoy today’s pattern!

Easy Baby Blanket – Knit-along – Square 11 – Eyelet Crescents Stitch

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 2 – Intarsia Cat

I hope you enjoyed my last knit-along baby blanket block, which was a stocking stitch heart. If you haven’t seen it yet, jump over to that post. In that post/video, I went over in more detail about the blanket generally, yarn, needles, and the techniques that will be used.
This week we’re doing another stocking stitch intarsia pattern; this cat.
I had been hoping to post this pattern last week but unfortunately a heap of late pregnancy symptoms and post-vaccination weakness decided to all pile into a bulldozer and run me over for about five days. I’m feeling waaaay better now though so I’m back to blogging!
As you can see in my little graphic of the blanket, this is the other picture square for the top row of rectangles.
Like the heart square, we’ll be using the Value Ball Gradients brand yarn in the darkest and lightest shades, which I’ve called colour 1 and colour 5. You’ll be using 4mm needles and your tension is 19sts by 26 rows to 10cm ² in stocking stitch.
