Diamante baby blanket

With a sprinkling of diamonds, made using just knit and purl stitches, this is an ideal project for novice knitters. It’s available in three sizes and, being unisex, it would make a good baby shower gift. I used Paintbox Simply Chunky, an easy care, acrylic yarn, but any chunky yarn should be suitable. For the larger sizes, it may be necessary to work back and forth on a circular needle to accommodate all the stitches.
