Winnie the Pooh afghan blanket Knitting Pattern, Bear motif Knit & Purl only

Knit something special for your little one with this Winnie the Pooh baby throw blanket. This beginner-friendly afghan pattern uses only knit and purl stitches to create a textured silhouette of Pooh Bear, 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.
