Free Basketweave Baby Blanket Knitting Patterns

Basketweave is a beautiful choice for knitted baby blankets, creating a classic textured fabric using simple combinations of knit and purl stitches.

The raised, block-like pattern adds plenty of visual interest without the complexity of lace or cables, making basketweave particularly appealing if you enjoy easy-to-follow stitch patterns that produce an impressive result.

Knitting a Basketweave Baby Blanket

Basketweave stitch typically uses alternating sections of knit and purl stitches to create the appearance of woven blocks. Although the finished texture can look intricate, many basketweave patterns use a straightforward repeating sequence.

This makes it a good technique for knitters who are comfortable with basic knit and purl stitches and want to move beyond plain garter or stockinette stitch.

For a baby blanket, basketweave also works beautifully in a single colour because the texture itself becomes the main feature of the design.
