Bear-y Cute Knit Hooded Baby Blanket by Bernat Design Studio

Craft: Knitting

This knit baby blanket is worked from the bottom-up in stocking stitch, with a built-in garter stitch border. Once the blanket has reached its full length, stitches are cast off on both sides, with center stitches worked flat for the hood. Hood is then folded in half and top stitches are grafted together. Featuring cushy Bernat Sheepy yarn, the blanket is super-plush with a teddy-like appearance that's furry on both sides. Finished with adorable pick-up-and-knit ears, this irresistible blanket makes a bear-y cute gift.
