Picot-Edge Baby Blanket Using Tahki Superwash Merino Bulky
The Design
This easy garter-stitch blanket is based on the washcloth pattern our grannies used to make. We’ve added a pretty picot edge to dress it up, but you can leave it unadorned, if you like! We call it a baby blanket, but it’s also a great little throw for your lap. For a larger blanket, just keep knitting!
For a reliably snuggly Picot-Edge Baby Blanket, we picked Tahki Superwash Merino Bulky. Soft and sturdy, this yarn is spun from 100% superwash merino wool. Its 2-ply strand has a fantastic, bouncy pillowiness that knits up into a plush, wonderfully warm fabric. Plus, it’s machine-washable, so it's perfect for those hand-knit pieces you’ll cuddle up to again and again!
