In today's tutorial, I'm demonstrating how to knit the Easy Knit Baby or Lap Blanket - a cosy mat or cuddle throw featuring a bold, geometric chevron stitch. Use as few or as many colours as you like for your version!
FIRE WARNING: Regardless of the yarn recommended in this pattern as suitable for the item, for the safety of children, do not make blankets from yarns which burn readily. Care must be taken in a potential fire environment if your child's handknit is loose fitting. This blanket is not designed to be used as sleepwear.
Make sure you don't leave any long yarn tails on your project, as these can pose a strangulation hazard to babies. Once I had securely woven in my ends and blocked the blanket, I trimmed the excess yarn so the remaining length was nice and short. Take care to regularly remove any pills that may appear on your blanket, as these may pose a choking hazard if they are picked off by little ones.
WARNING: DO NOT use this blanket without adult supervision, or leave this blanket within a baby’s reach, as blankets can pose a suffocation hazard to babies or cause overheating. This blanket is NOT recommended for cot/crib use. Always seek expert advice regarding when and where, in what size and weight, and at what age a blanket is safe for your child!
