Materials You'll Need

• Aran yarn: We recommend using a soft and durable aran yarn in a shade that complements your nursery decor. Consider hues like ivory, baby blue, or soft pink.
• Knitting needles: Opt for a pair of size US 8 (5mm) knitting needles.
• Measuring tape: To ensure accuracy while knitting.
• Scissors: For cutting the yarn.
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in loose ends.

Knitting Instructions

Step 1: Cast On

1. Make a slip knot and place it on the left-hand needle.
2. Insert the right-hand needle into the slip knot and hook the yarn from the back.
3. Pull the hooked yarn through the slip knot to form a new loop on the left-hand needle.
4. Repeat steps 2-3 until you have 60 stitches on the left-hand needle.

Step 2: Knit Rows

1. Insert the right-hand needle into the first stitch on the left-hand needle from front to back.
2. Hook the yarn from the back and pull it through to form a new loop on the right-hand needle.
3. Slip the old stitch off the left-hand needle.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for all stitches in the row.

Step 3: Repeat Rows

1. Continue alternating between rows of knit stitches and purl stitches according to the pattern chart.
2. Knit until the blanket reaches the desired length, approximately 30 inches or as per your preference.

Step 4: Bind Off

1. Knit the first two stitches on the left-hand needle.
2. Insert the left-hand needle into the first stitch on the right-hand needle and lift it over the second stitch.
3. Knit the next stitch on the left-hand needle and repeat step 2.
4. Continue binding off until only one stitch remains on the left-hand needle.
5. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail of about 6 inches, and pull it through the last stitch.

Finishing Touches

1. Weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle.
2. Block the blanket by gently stretching it out and pinning it to a flat surface. This will help it maintain its shape and size.
3. Allow the blanket to dry completely before using it.

Tips for Success

• Use high-quality yarn and needles to ensure durability and a professional finish.
• Take your time and count your stitches regularly to avoid mistakes.
• Don't be afraid to ask for help from experienced knitters if needed.
• Relax and enjoy the process of creating something special with your own hands.

With patience and a touch of love, you'll have crafted a stunning baby afghan blanket that will cherish for years to come.
