Easy Chunky Knit Baby Blanket

What’s better than chunky baby legs…how about chunky baby legs wrapped in a cozy knit blanket! This knit baby blanket is great because it’s a very quick knit, with thick yarn and big needles. I knit this blanket in a few evenings during my last days of pregnancy, so looking forward to the sweet baby boy that would soon be wrapped in it. This yarn is so soft and cozy.

This is a great blanket for beginners to make (I’m still a beginner myself!), because it’s so easy and quick to do. I was so pleased with how this turned out. It’s soft and cozy and my sweet baby boy loves to snuggle with it. It feels good to have made something myself that I can use for my kids.
