Bundle Me Blankie & Sweetie Socks – Knitting Pattern No. 9222 by Spud & Chloë

Pattern No. 9222 from Spud & Chloë's Little Spuds Collection is a beginner-friendly knitting set designed for babies aged 0–12 months. The bundle includes two complementary projects: the Bundle Me Blankie, a stroller-sized striped baby blanket, and the Sweetie Socks, a pair of simple, heel-less infant socks. Both projects are thoughtfully designed to work together as a coordinated set and are sized for newborns through 12-month-old babies.

Bundle Me Blankie

What Is Being Made

The Bundle Me Blankie is a stroller-sized baby blanket finished at approximately 31¼" wide by 24" long. It features wide stripes in two colors — a main color (MC) and a contrast color (CC) — making it a quick, satisfying knit with virtually endless possibilities for color combinations. It is described as cuddly and cozy, ideal for walks in the park, stroller rides, and naptime.

Materials

• Yarn: Spud & Chloë Outer, a blend of 65% superwash wool and 35% organic cotton, in a super chunky weight (100g / 60 yds per hank). You will need 3 hanks in the main color (MC) and 2 hanks in the contrast color (CC).
• Needles: Size 13 (9mm) 32" circular needles, or size needed to obtain gauge.
• Notions: Tapestry needle, measuring tape.

Gauge

In stockinette stitch: 10 stitches and 14 rows = 4 inches. The pattern notes that exact gauge is not critical for this project but will affect the finished size and drape of the blanket.

Techniques and Stitches Used

The Bundle Me Blankie is worked flat on circular needles, which accommodate the wide stitch count comfortably. The blanket uses a combination of stockinette stitch and reverse stockinette stitch to create its textured striped design. Working flat means knitting all right-side (RS) rows and purling all wrong-side (WS) rows for stockinette, and the reverse for reverse stockinette.

• Cast on (CO): The blanket begins by casting on 70 stitches in the main color.
• Stockinette stitch (st st): Knit all RS rows, purl all WS rows when working flat.
• Reverse stockinette stitch (rev st st): Purl all RS rows, knit all WS rows when working flat — this creates a bumpy, textured surface that contrasts beautifully with smooth stockinette sections.
• Color changes: Stripes are formed by switching between MC and CC at designated rows.
• Bind off (BO): Used to finish the blanket at the end.
• kfb (knit into front and back): An increase technique listed in the abbreviations.
• k2tog (knit two together): A right-leaning decrease.
• ssk (slip, slip, knit): A left-leaning decrease worked by slipping two stitches knitwise, then knitting them together through the front loops.
• Slip stitch (sl st): Used for clean edges or decorative detail.
• wyib / wyif: Directional yarn-holding techniques (with yarn in back / with yarn in front) used when slipping stitches.

Difficulty and Appeal

Rated as Advanced Beginner, the Bundle Me Blankie is an excellent project for knitters who have mastered the knit and purl stitches and are ready to practice working with two colors and reading a simple pattern. The large needle size and super chunky yarn mean the blanket works up quickly, making it a satisfying and practical gift project. The superwash treatment on the wool ensures the
