Baby Knitting Pattern I love the border on this blanket! … baby blanket knitting pattern… #on #baby #babyblanketknittingpattern #blanket

Of course this blanket can be knit in any color you please, but bright yellow brings an extra spark of joy and light. A pretty textured pattern makes it even livelier. The more you wash this yarn, the softer it gets.
