Ava custom name knit chunky newborn blanket Knit-Purl only knitting pattern

Knit something timeless and personilized with the Ava Blanket, a textured design that highlights the simple beauty of knit and purl stitches. A neat garter stitch border frames a smooth stockinette background, while the central motif is brought to life through the interplay of garter and reverse stockinette. The custom name design appears in elegant relief without the need for charts, cables, or colorwork. The final size of the afghan will depend on the yarn and needle size you choose.
