How big is the average baby blanket?

admin — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 10:09:38 +0000

I want to make a baby blanket for my boss (she’s having a girl) and I was wondering how big I should plan on making it.

I always went for a larger size (around 36"x48" was my favorite), because they’d be usable as nap blankies for several years, assuming they didn’t wear out first. But that’s personal preference, and anything from about 30"x30" on up works fine.

what is the best fabric to use for a baby blanket/quilt?

admin — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 08:30:27 +0000

i have heard some fabrics are not good to use for a baby blanket/quilt. what are the safest/best fabrics to use?

Nix to polar type fleece – it pills, sheds and looks nasty after it has been used a few times or has been washed.

You can use flannel – pre wash and dry about 3 times as it shrinks and you want this to happen before the quilt is sewn.

Cotton is a standard for quilts.

Minkee (aka Minky) is probably the most popular for baby items.

Knitting a baby blanket someone please help me?

I just started knitting on Sunday night and for the past few days I have been practicing how to cast on, regular knitting, purl knitting and binding off. I’m 26 weeks pregnant and I want to make a baby blanket for my baby girl. Right now I have 10" needles and two 7oz worsted medium yarn, I also have two little balls of yarn to practice with. Want to find a website or somebody to tell me how to make a very easy blanket.

you don’t need a pattern. FYI, "regular knitting" as you call it is just referred to as knitting, and "purl knitting" as you call it is just referred to as purling.

The easiest possible blanket you can make is to cast on maybe 60 stitches, then just knit 5 rows. Once you’ve knit the 5 rows, choose whether you want to do stockinette stitch (knit one row, purl one row) or garter stitch (knit all rows). If you are a beginner which it sounds like and you have not knit any project before, I would just regular knit all rows.

If you are comfortable with both knitting and purling, then go for the stockinette stitch on your blanket. If you do stockinette stitch, start with a purl row (after the 5 knitted rows) then do a knit row, then purl row again, then knit row again, and so on until you have used all of the yarn on your first ball of yarn. Once you start to run out of the first ball of yarn, try to finish on the edge of the blanket (the end of the row), and then tie on the new ball to the first ball. Once your blanket is as long as you want it, then knit 5 rows and bind off. Sew in the loose ends. That’s it!

You may want to look into getting a pair of circular needles, those are easier for beginners. Have someone who knits tell you if you are using the right size needle for the yarn (bring in the yarn and the needles you have).

Go on YouTube to find videos of knitting, purling, casting on and binding off. There are also great "knitting for baby" books. I think this is a great way to learn to knit – baby projects are always small and they are not judgmental about what they wear! have fun

I just want to know an easy way to knit a baby blanket?

A baby blanket is more defined by size and material than what stitch you use, for a beginner level you might want to try a patchwork blanket where you make up little squares and sew them together. This has the advantage of feeling as though you making it a lot more quickly than say a single piece of candlelight lace knitting to size.

I would suggest using a baby weight yarn, these are usually a three or four ply.

If you want a basic lace pattern, eyelet rib is easy enough, old shale is another nice and easy stitch.
