Simple Waffle Style Blanket in Two Sizes and Car Seat Blanket
What is Being Made
This downloadable knitting pattern by Claire Topping from Baby & Doll Handknit Designs offers three coordinated blanket projects: a small blanket measuring 44 x 52cm, a large blanket measuring 52 x 68cm, and a car seat blanket measuring 46cm x 46cm. All three designs feature a simple waffle stitch texture that creates visual interest while remaining accessible to beginner knitters.
Techniques Used
The pattern employs several fundamental knitting techniques suitable for those new to the craft. Wrap and turn (W&T) is a key technique used throughout the design, which involves bringing yarn to the front between needles, slipping the next stitch purlwise, bringing yarn to the back, and slipping the stitch back to create neat shaping. The pattern also emphasizes edge finishing by slipping the first stitch of every row, which ensures a polished, neat edge on the completed blankets. This attention to finishing detail elevates the professional appearance of the final project.
Stitches Used
The waffle blankets utilize two primary stitch patterns:
- Garter stitch (G-st) – created by knitting every row, producing a textured, bumpy fabric with excellent drape and durability
- Stocking stitch (St-st) – alternating knit and purl rows to create a smooth, classic knit fabric
The combination of these stitches creates the distinctive waffle texture characteristic of this design. The pattern also uses standard abbreviations including K (knit), P (purl), Cont (continue), and Sts (stitches).
Materials and Specifications
The pattern accommodates different yarn weights and needle sizes depending on which blanket size you choose:
- Small Blanket: 300g of chunky yarn (US Bulky weight) worked on 6mm needles (UK size 4, US size 10)
- Large Blanket: 400g of chunky yarn (US Bulky weight) worked on 6mm needles (UK size 4, US size 10)
- Car Seat Blanket: 200g of aran yarn (US Worsted weight) worked on 5mm needles (US size 8, UK size 6), with specific measurements including 26cm length from bottom to first opening and 6cm distance between openings
The use of chunky and aran weight yarns means these projects work up relatively quickly, making them ideal for beginners seeking satisfying, timely results. The pattern is provided as a downloadable PDF, allowing immediate access to the full instructions and specifications.

Lovely pattern - easy to knit - I did in in a couple of evenings. One of those you can knit without too much concentration! My daughter-in-law is delighted with it for our first grandchild. I used the recommended wool which is excellent quality.
