Super Easy Crib Blanket in Super Soft Merino
We’ve re-conceived the Purl Bee’s classic Super Easy Blanket in Purl Soho’s sumptuous Super Soft Merino! This Super Easy Crib Blanket borrows the simple striping from the baby-sized original, but at 2 3/4 stitches to the inch, it knits up bigger and faster. With voluminous stitches and luxurious loft, this blanket is as soft and gentle as a cloud!

Materials
Our Super Soft Merino Bundle (no longer available) includes all the yarn to make your own Super Easy Crib Blanket…
- 7 skeins of Purl Soho’s Super Soft Merino, 100% merino wool yarn. Each skein of this bulky weight yarn is 87 yards/ 100 grams; approximately 609 yards required. We knit the palette Macaron (no longer available).
You will also need…
- US 13 (9 mm), 24- or 32-inch circular needles
GAUGE
11 stitches = 4 inches in garter stitch
Size
Finished Dimensions: approximately 30 inches x 32 inches
NOTES
To get a nice, neat edge just slip the first stitch of every row knitwise with the yarn in back. (When you change colors, knit the first stitch of the row.)
PATTERN
With the first color, cast on 82 stitches. We used a basic Long Tail Cast On.
Knit every row until you have used the entire skein (or until there are 11 or 12 garter stitch “ridges” [1 ridge = 2 rows]).
Switch to the second color and knit every row, using up the entire skein.
Repeat with each color, making sure to always switch colors on the same side.
After knitting all but a couple of yards of the seventh color, loosely bind off.
Weave in the ends and you’re done!
LEARN ABOUT SUPER SOFT MERINO + ALL OUR BEAUTIFUL YARNS
The best reason to use Super Soft Merino for this project is because it is the dreamiest, cuddliest, toastiest yarn you can imagine! A single ply of 100% merino wool, Super Soft Merino has a nice, loose spin that shows off the softness of its fiber and keeps it nice and lightweight. Its gauge ranges from a chunky/bulky-weight to super bulky-weight (2.75-3.25 stitches per inch), making it a great choice for quick (and beautiful!) hand-knit gifts. And more… Super Soft Merino comes in 30 amazing colors, too!
