Ernie Blanket
Updated May 17, 2021 
"This blanket was inspired by my toddlers love for Ernie. This snuggly knit looks just like his iconic sweater and is sure to make everyone smile. Finished blanket size 43 in. wide x 48 in. long. This blanket uses super chunky yarn so it knits up so quickly. Blanket is made in stockinette stitch with ribbed border. Beginner friendly pattern but knowledge of how to pick up and knit stitches is needed for the border on the sides."
