Knit Gingham Panels Blanket

Craft: Knitting

Designed in Bernat Baby Blanket, this classic knit blanket is a cinch for beginners!

This easy-to-knit baby blanket is a great way to surprise the soon-to-be mom at the baby shower. Featuring Bernat Baby Blanket O'Go, panels are worked and then seamed together to form the classic gingham pattern. You get 3 perfectly coordinated shades, but you can select any O'Go to enjoy a version that works in your space. Whether a beginner or more experienced knitter, this project is fun to do, featuring simple garter stitch, seamed strips, and picking up border techniques.
