Design
The Albie Baby Blanket features triangles throughout the pattern using knit and purl stitches to create them, this is a 16 row repeat but still very easy to follow, after you have done the first 8 rows you will notice from rows 9-16 that you will literally be following rows 8 back down to row 1 again so you will be able to see the triangles form quite quickly. This knitting pattern uses knit and purl stitches which are really basic knitting stitches which makes it a perfect pattern for beginners as well as the advanced knitter.
