Our Super Easy Blanket is one of our oldest and most loved projects. We shared the original version so long ago that the baby pictured with it is now close to finishing elementary school! There’s a reason this pattern has stood the test of time: It’s modern, fun, cozy, and, yes, super easy!

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 over 30 amazing colors, too!
