If you are looking for the perfect gift for that special newborn baby, why not consider a knit baby blanket? As we know, all knitted fabrics are made using two basic stitches, knit and purl.
Although the mechanics are different from casting on, there is a similar variety of methods. The key to knitting for gifts is to keep things simple, use quality materials, and, if you want to knit several gifts, consider using one pattern multiple times. Not every stitch in a row need be knitted; some may be left as is and knitted on a subsequent row.
The single yarns may be dyed separately before plying, or afterwards to give the yarn a uniform look. This pattern looks very nice especially for sweaters. There are actually hundreds of combinations of stitch patterns.
Not only will this provide a nice social outlet, but your new knitting friends may also be able to help you locate and use new knitting patterns and new ideas for knitting projects. Once you learn the basics of knitting, you will want to continue progressing to more advanced stitches and knitting patterns.
