Make a Baby Blanket Worth Keeping for Years You want the finished blanket to look like something special, not just another square of garter stitch. This one has a woven basket texture built right into the fabric, and it looks just as good on the back as the front. No seams to sew, no ends to hunt down mid-project. The seamless construction keeps things moving and leaves you with a clean result from start to finish. Skill Level: Intermediate Finished Size: 60 cm x 60 cm (23.6 in. x 23.6 in.) Fully reversible — the basket-weave texture looks polished on both sides, so there is no "wrong side" to worry about when gifting or displaying it Seamless block construction — each section is knitted and joined as you go, no sewing pieces together at the end Works with what you already have — solid colors highlight the woven structure, gradient yarn adds visual interest, and small stash leftovers are welcome here "This is exactly the kind of blanket I want to give at a baby shower — it looks far more complex than it is."
