Hearts Knitting Pattern Blanket, Knit & Purl only

Knit something special for your little one with this Hearts baby blanket. This beginner-friendly pattern uses only knit and purl stitches to create a textured silhouette of the motifs, with no colorwork or charts required. The design is worked in reverse stockinette and garter stitch on a smooth stockinette background, framed by a neat garter border. This method, known as textured or knit-and-purl knitting, adds depth and detail using just stitch direction and placement. It’s perfect for exploring how texture alone can shape visual designs in fabric. No advanced techniques are needed, just focus and accurate stitch counting. Includes clear row-by-row instructions. Finished size depends on yarn and needles: Sport (5 ply) about 80×100 cm (33×40 inches) ~700 g, DK or worsted about 100×120 cm (40×47 inches) ~800–850 g, Aran about 115×140 cm (45×55 inches) ~1400–1500 g.
