Sea blanket Knitting Pattern, Knit and Purl only

Add a splash of nautical magic with this beginner-friendly knitting pattern! Both the border and motifs are worked in garter stitch, while a smooth stockinette background highlights three sea-inspired designs — a whale, a seahorse, and a starfish. Only knit and purl stitches are used, with no charts, colorwork, or cables required. Clear row-by-row instructions guide you through every stitch, making it perfect for practicing basics and creating a cozy ocean blanket, lapghan, rug, or wall hanging.
