Easy Colorful Knitted Blankets
Baby blankets don’t have to be boring. Break the monotony and make colorful blankets with a geometric pattern that will look like a newest collection of a home decor brand! It’s not difficult and you can make a pattern as you want really. You can make classic stripes or get more creative playing with their width and position – you will be amazed what effect you can get. You can use as many different colors as you wish or make it more classic. Try going super trendy and making an ombre effect by using many shades of the same color or a multicolored yarn. Remember that you can always make a bigger sized blanket that will fit an adult! Take a look at examples below and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.
