Wanna know one of my favorite parts about knitting blankets for babies?
They’re small enough that I can have the fun of experimenting with different patterns and stitches, without being locked into a project for six months (usually!). My only problem is that I’m running out of babies. Does this happen to you? When you need to be knitting something, even if you don’t know who it’s for yet? With blankets, at least, you can always donate here to Project Linus. Such a sweet idea — you get the fun of knitting something and then the fuzzy feels of giving it to someone who will love and appreciate it. 💖 💖
So here’s a little secret…sometimes I like knitting things that are challenging and complicated and I learn new things and improve my skills. And sometimes I like just looking like I knit something challenging and complicated when really it was very simple. Then everyone is impressed with me and tells me how great I am, and I’m all “pshht! It was nothing!” and no one believes me even though I’m telling the truth.
This is one of those second kind of blankets.
I love this pattern because it looks so pretty, but it’s so easy to remember. Once you get a few rows along, you can bring it anywhere, and you’ll probably remember how it goes without even glancing at the directions. You don’t need any fancy skills. It’s all knitting and purling and wrapping the yarn around your needle a few times.
And that dropstitch is so pretty, I’ve used it before in a super-chunky cowl that I wear all winter. It just looks sophisticated and complicated while being really very easy.
You can snag your pattern here
And if you need help figuring out how to do the drop stitch itself, I made a handy dandy video:

I’ve been looking at this pattern for awhile, and was hoping to cast on tonight, but can’t seem to get the pattern – is it supposed to e-mailed or downloaded? I’ve tried 2 browsers. Hoping you can send me a copy of the pattern via e-mail. Thanks!
When I get to row six after the 11 rows of knitting, it says “knit 5, k1, k1, slide stitches, but there are two more knitted stitches before the two wrapped can be slidden off needle … ???
Can’t download drop stitch baby blanket
I’m wondering if there are instructions or a video to show how to repair an error when using the drop stitch method. I love the pattern and now noticed I’ve made an error a couple rows back and now the drop stitch doesn’t look right. I’ve search YouTube and googled the topic without success. Any suggestions are helpful. I’ve only been knitting a year and not real good at trying to decipher my stitches. Thank you for any help you can provide!
Please send me your drop stitch baby blanket pattern. Thank you.
Could I please get this older email to make a copy for someone in church?
Need pattern for drop stitch baby blanket. It is not going to my email. Not sure why.
The drop stitch blanket pattern is one that i did for a pattern of a bed jacket i made for my mother when i was aged 10 at our junior school. Glade to have found the pattern again. Thank You
I already get the emails, so unsure why I need to “re-sign” up to get them in order to get the patterns?
I would love these patterns, but don’t want to sign up again to receive multiple copies of the same newsletters.
I sent you the blanket pattern…don’t worry – even if you do sign up for the newsletter more than once, my email system only allows it to be delivered to the same address once! You shouldn’t get duplicates…
I have requested this drop stitch baby blanket pattern by signing up with e-mail address, and am anxious to get it to knit the blanket for the first baby of a dear, dear family member. Could you send it to me or refer me to a source for the pattern? Freeda Roberts 1/23/19

hi! i downloaded this pattern and i love it! i want to knit it for my best friends baby who is 20 weeks pregnant with her first!
noticed that the pattern says *K1, K1 (w2)* and in the video youre saying knit 2, wrap 2, knit 2. am i mis-reading the instructions or did you modify from video to written version? also, the border on one side is 5 (k5 to start the row) but 6 on the other side (last instruction is k6)? do the right and left hand borders end up being the same? same with row 6 (6 ad 7).
sorry for all the questions, relatively new to knitting 🙂

I would like to knit a baby blanket in this pattern, but I don’t have time to make it crib-sized. Any recommendations on how to scale it down? (By stitches in multiples of—?)
