@Authors,
2-3 patterns per author are enough. Don’t forget links, nice pictures, good info, etc.

This crocheted blanket starts in the center and is worked in spiral rounds. The size can be customized. 



This crocheted blanket also starts in the center, and the pattern repeats over 2 rounds. 



A cable-like look without a cable needle—this pattern is worked using only knit and purl stitches. The blanket is also suitable for beginners. 

You can knit this colorful feel-good blanket from lots of colorful leftover balls of yarn. They are not sewn on, but knitted on. This creates a unique pattern and brings color to any room where the blanket lies.

The patterns are easy to knit and consist only of knit and purl stitches.

For a doll stroller or doll bed, you can knit this heart blanket. It can also be made very easily using knit and purl stitches. The size can easily be expanded so that the blanket can also be knitted as a baby blanket. Using a different yarn weight can change a lot, too.

With this baby blanket, you can see right away that it was knitted with lots of love. It has a crocheted border. The pattern is made with knit and purl stitches. For the heart in the center, you need somewhat more experienced knitting hands. Otherwise, you can leave it out.

Oh, the ladies before me are showing such beautiful blankets. I could almost be tempted, but honestly, I like mine quite a lot too—if not even better ;-) Just take a look for yourselves at what I’ve picked out for you. I have lots of blankets in my shop; these are my three favorites.

I hope you enjoy looking and making them yourselves.

Warm regards from Ina

Knitted Blanket with Fringe
I especially like this one because it is super easy to knit using only knit stitches. It does take a little perseverance, though. But if you knit a few rows every evening while watching TV, you’ll be finished in no time. We also don’t have to weave in any ends, because we simply knot them into decorative fringe.



Just choose yarns in colors that go well together, and then you can get started right away. Leftovers can be used too, because we knit each row in a different color.



Mosaic Blanket Made of Squares
This one is crocheted. First we crochet lots of squares, all exactly the same, just in different colors. Then we crochet them together. Add a border around it, and you have a beautiful, one-of-a-kind blanket in your favorite colors. The squares are great little projects to crochet on the go.





Timeless Baby Blanket Made of Merino Wool
All babies, children, and parents love it. Because the blanket is wonderfully soft, since it’s made of merino wool. And it is warm and breathable, and you can even wash it in the washing machine. I’ve knitted it many times already, and everyone loves this blanket. A few months ago, my son wanted one in “mustard colors” for the new baby, because he thinks that’s cooler than pink. Here you go. I took a picture for you right away.

"Babywarm"
A pretty baby blanket that can also be knitted in a solid color.

Handy tip: Made from a merino blend yarn, this baby blanket is machine washable.

This cozy blanket is fittingly called "Moment of Happiness" - the motif of the two cuddly bunnies stands for those wonderful moments we would love to keep in our hearts forever. With this blanket, you can symbolically give a newborn or toddler many of these moments of happiness. The knitting is very easy, using only knit and purl stitches.

Happy and protected, the little bear feels on this blanket because he senses his mom's endless love. That is exactly how safe every child should feel. With this blanket, you can symbolically give lots of love to the little new arrival. 



Knitting pattern for baby blanket "Mim's Love" 



If you’d like to get creative yourself, you can combine these squares any way you like. They can be used to create wonderful blankets, with names for babies or pets, or even with lovely sayings for a sofa blanket. The squares are very easy to knit using only knit and purl stitches; at the end, they are crocheted together.

XXL living room blanket with 20% summer discount

The cozy living room blanket is absolutely on trend! 
The lattice pattern can be knitted in solid colors or, as shown, in colorful stripes. The cable twists are explained in detail in the pattern with words and pictures, so experienced knitting beginners should be able to manage it very well too.
I used thick yarn with size 8 needles and knitted a 140 x 150 cm blanket with 1000 g. However, the model can easily be made larger or smaller.

Since I enjoy creating designs for dolls, I’d like to introduce you to the following model

Mermaid blanket for a 32 cm doll


The doll belonged to my daughter, who now has her own children.
I know, they were twins, and there was a matching dress-up doll to go with them.

Even the little dolls and their doll moms love mermaid blankets! They’re quick to crochet from just a few leftover yarn scraps in the doll mom’s favorite colors:


You can crochet not just a mermaid blanket, but a whole mermaid outfit with this pattern, including a top and headpiece.



And so the male dolls can swim along too, here is the crochet pattern for amerman costume for male dolls.



This is what the little dolls look like in matching outfits:
 

My baby blankets are all knitted using only knit and purl stitches, so they don’t really have a front and back. Both sides are equally beautiful, and moms don’t have to make sure the blanket is the right side up.  
All are knitted with 200 g of sock-weight yarn; I usually knit with Fine Merino Socks from hand dyers. It has some synthetic content, but it’s incredibly cuddly-soft.
