Soft Vines Baby Blanket

This quaint baby blanket knitting pattern makes a charming addition to any baby's nursery. The delicate lacework combined with the soft mint hue of the Soft Vines Baby Blanket gives off a pleasant, soothing vibe. Knit with chenille yarn, this cozy blanket features a velvety soft texture.

This classic knit blanket pattern makes a great baby shower present or first birthday gift. Try knitting this blanket in baby blue for a little boy, or pale pink for a girl, if you're not a fan of the mint green. The design is just too lovely to pass up.
