Sweet little blankets for babies are so much fun to make with the Knook and medium weight yarn. The Knook is a specialised crochet hook that creates true knitted fabric, while the attached cord completely prevents dropped stitches! It's great for beginners or anyone who would like to learn to knit the easy way. Clear instructions on the basic technique are provided for both right-hand and left-hand stitching, while photos illustrate each step.

These 6 designs by Melissa Leapman are for beginner to intermediate-plus skill levels: Baby's Snuggly Throw (featuring classic diamond eyelet panels), Multicolor Carriage Blankie, Ridged Patchwork Blanket, Mitered Eyelet Blanket, Hearts Baby Blanket and Mitered Multicolor Blanket.
