Simba blanket Knitting Pattern - Knit and Purl only

Knit something unforgettable with a Simba Blanket, a design that combines simplicity with heartfelt meaning. Both the border is worked in garter stitch, while the central motif is created with a mix of garter and reverse stockinette, making it wonderfully beginner-friendly while still creating a striking effect. The Disney Character design stands out beautifully against a smooth stockinette background using only knit and purl stitches, no charts, cables, or colorwork required.
