Rainbow Striped Baby Blanket Knit Pattern

Knit a beautiful rainbow striped baby blanket with this easy knitting pattern featuring textured patterned stripes.

The blanket uses the seven colours of the rainbow, making it a fantastic stash-busting knitting project, although the design also looks lovely worked in a single contrast colour.

The textured stripe pattern adds interest while remaining easy to knit and creates a lightweight but warm blanket when worked in DK yarn with 6mm needles.

The finished blanket measures approximately 22 x 22 inches (56 x 56cm), and extra stripes can easily be added to increase the size.

Perfect for baby gifts, pram blankets, nursery blankets, reborn dolls and everyday use.
