Easy Basket Weave Charity Baby Blanket Knitting Pattern – 3 Sizes – Beginner DK Baby Blanket

Knit a little comfort for a wonderful cause with this Easy Basket Weave Charity Baby Blanket Knitting Pattern from MK Crafts UK.

Designed especially with charity knitting in mind, this simple and relaxing pattern creates a beautifully textured baby blanket using only basic knit and purl stitches. The classic basketweave centre is framed with a neat garter stitch border, creating a cosy, timeless finish that's perfect for babies.

The pattern is worked flat in one piece, with no complicated shaping or sewing, making it an enjoyable project for beginners as well as experienced knitters looking for a relaxing charity knit.

Half of all profit will go the Royal Berkshire Trust Charity, to help support the Royal Berkshire Hospital. 

Three useful blanket sizes are included:

20" × 20" / 51 × 51 cm
20" × 24" / 51 × 61 cm
24" × 24" / 61 × 61 cm

The pattern uses DK yarn and 5 mm knitting needles, and the easy 12-row basketweave repeat quickly becomes familiar as you work.

These smaller blanket sizes are ideal for knitters wanting to make comforting handmade donations without committing to a full-size baby blanket. They are also lovely for using up suitable DK yarn from your stash.

Because individual hospitals and charities have their own requirements, the pattern includes a reminder to check your chosen organisation's current guidelines for finished size, yarn fibre, colour and finishing requirements before donating.

Finished blankets made from this pattern may be freely donated to hospitals, charities and other charitable organisations.
