Thank you to Ann Saglimbene for sharing her free pattern for this blanket. Lots of babies in the hospital will now be cuddly warm. This is also a wonderful pattern for making chemo blankets for patients.

I would love to knit this as different coloured individual squares. ?Could you post a pattern on how to knit one square please? Many thanks.

Do you have to use circular knitting needles? Can it be done with straight knitting needles instead?

Straight needles can be used as well as circular needles

I am knitting this pattern right now and have just completed the first block of squares across. I don’t see anywhere in the pattern that indicates how to knit however many rows of garter stitch in order to seal in the square, so to speak, unless I’m missing something. Sure would love to hear back from you ASAP so I can get back to it tonight.
Many thanks, Nancy

Follow the pattern going line by line and the blanket will come out like the picture

You need to repeat from the very beginning each time. I made the mistake of repeating rows 1-24 as the pattern suggests, and now I have no boarder between hearts :-/
