Free Pattern Friday – Snuggle Blankie

This week, our Free Pattern Friday offering is the Snuggle Blankie, designed by Rachel Brockman. Made in Universal Yarn Maman, this blanket is exactly as squishable as it looks.

Knitting for a friend who’s expecting a new baby? Or maybe for yourself, since the Snuggle Blankie can be for anyone. I personally think this would be an excellent blanket to wrap up in while reading a good book, or while giving some belly rubs to my corgi!

Maman shows off the stitch definition of this labyrinth pattern beautifully, and with the self striping effect, you’ll impress everyone with what looks complex, but is actually super easy!

You could choose to make this in a solid color as well, since Maman has both wonderful options. Maman is 100% acrylic, making it an easy care choice, and it’s soft and buttery smooth to the touch. It’s also on sale 20% off through Sunday, February 22nd, so snag enough for your new Snuggle Blankie today – and maybe one for a friend, too!

Enjoy every stitch!
