Basketweave Initial Baby Blanket

This baby blanket is the perfect keepsake gift. The main piece is knit in a basketweave pattern which is always a classic. The border is a cable that frames the entire piece. In the center we added an initial to make this blanket even more personalized. For those of you who like to get a head start on gift knitting, you can use the first or last name initial. There are so many great color cominations you can do for either a boy or girl.
