Knit Starfish Baby Blanket Pattern

Overview

Under the starry sky, under the ocean, knit your own cuddly starfish baby blanket! A perfect project for experienced knitters, this blanket design takes us underwater to a playful tropical seabed. With circular knitting technique, bring the starfish to life in a loving warmth. The pattern is written for a baby blanket size, but is easily adaptable to make larger or smaller.

Materials

• Yarn: 680 grams of Bounty Baby Yarn (Imperial) or Bounty DK Yarn (Metric) in the colours of your choice.
• Needle Size: US 6 (UK 8, Metric 4mm).
• Stitch markers.
• Darning needle for finishing.

Instructions

1. Cast on 180 stitches.
2. Arrange 90 stitches on each of two needles. Make sure not to twist stitches.
3. Place marker and join round.
4. Follow the star pattern chart provided under these instructions.
5. Continually check the number of stitches on both the needles to ensure they remain equal.
6. Continue following the pattern until the blanket measures 30 inches (or desired length).
7. Cast off all stitches, cut yarn leaving a long tail and weave in all loose ends.

Remember, the star pattern should always be perfectly centered!
