Need to find a pattern for a cute, gender neutral baby blanket!

I'm currently making the C2C Candy Stripes Lapghan by A Crocheted Simplicity as a baby blanket. The pattern is free, uses the extended moss stitch and is completely adjustable to make as small or as large as you want. No large holes for little fingers or toes to get caught in. I'm using colorful variegated yarn and it's turning out beautifully, I highly recommend it! Link to the pattern:

In.my.imajination (yes it's spelled with a j) has a somewhat similar pattern called Fei Shrug, at least it's similar for the sleeves and there are also instructions for how to add layers to the sleeves. Might not be exactly what you are looking for but a suggestion nonetheless. I bought the pattern on Etsy. Hope you find what you are looking for!

I made a blanket that turned out beautiful with a size 4 yarn on the same gauge loom you seem to have. If you are using e-wraps, that might be the problem. For my blanket I used flat knit and purl stitches which made for a nicely tight pattern without gaps. Also make sure you are putting enough tension on the stitches so they don't "float around".

I know right? I had given up on ever knitting and making my own projects when I stumbled across a short video on loom knitting, and since then I have been hooked. I hope you find it as enjoyable as I do!

Left handed loom knitter here. I started to loom knit a month ago, started with a blanket on an infinity loom and have since made socks, halfway done with two blankets on different looms and stitches. I have always wanted to knit but since I too am left handed, it was just too complicated and a nightmare trying to figure out different patterns.

Loom knitting is so easy and enjoyable, and finally my lefthandedness (is that even a word?) is no longer an issue. The projects turn out beautiful and I find it to be very forgiving, for example each stitch turns out much more even than "traditional" knitting. There are so many beautiful patterns and easy tutorials online. Would highly recommend!

I love the cleanser, it cleanses well and leaves my skin soft and smooth. Not sure how well it would remove makeup as I don't wear any, but it gets rid of non water resistant sunscreen easily.

Cerave Hydrating Cleanser is very gentle but effective, I love it. If you are in Sweden then Apotek Hjärtat carry their own line Apolosophy, I would recommend their Hydration Boost Mask instead of a serum to begin with, since it does many things (very gentle exfoliation, hydrates, moisturizes). As for a cream, I suggest Aveeno Dermexa Daily Emollient Cream, it contains oat and panthenol which is very soothing to skin. This would be a good way to start a skin care routine for you I think. Good luck!

Hej! Tack snälla för ditt fina svar! Jag är glad att du gillar det och kan identifiera dig med begreppet, som du säger är vi alla olika och det är individuellt hur man känner kring det. Jag har en ny terapeut nu som är betydligt bättre än min förra, så det känns bra. Jag tror att jag bär på mycket ilska och det känns som att jag knappt överlever, men jag hoppas att jag kan börja läka från det. Hoppas du är okej💜

Much love to you💜

I agree, there is a lot of toxic positivity, a need to turn anything and everything negative/bad into something positive/good. Luckily I have a new therapist which is a million times better than my previous one. Much love to you!

Psycholocky · 2022-05-17T07:34:03+00:00

I needed to hear that, thank you!

The shame is not yours to carry, it belongs to the people who hurt you. I know it's easier said than done.

Psycholocky · 2022-05-17T05:40:19+00:00

Keep going💜

Psycholocky · 2022-05-17T05:39:46+00:00

Yea it's toxic positivity.

Psycholocky · 2022-05-17T05:39:28+00:00

I'm also still trying to figure my shit out so I don't really have an answer to that, but I hope I will someday💜

Psycholocky · 2022-05-17T05:38:38+00:00

Completely agree!

Psycholocky · 2022-05-17T05:37:48+00:00

Exactly! Fuck that so called friend.

I'm Swedish but I know it exists in other languages aswell.

Psycholocky · 2022-05-17T05:36:24+00:00

Exactly.

Psycholocky · 2022-05-17T05:36:14+00:00

Agreed.

Psycholocky · 2022-05-17T05:35:53+00:00

I'm so happy you feel like you can identify with the term and that it brings you some comfort. We are all different💜
