Easy Baby Blanket with Alize Puffy Fine

Knitting with **Alize Puffy Fine** yarn is very pleasant and easy because it is done entirely with your fingers, without knitting needles or crochet hooks. Since the thread is thinner than the classic Alize Puffy, the blankets turn out extremely soft, lightweight, and perfect for babies.
Here is an easy and very beautiful baby blanket pattern using the **Seed Stitch**. This stitch is great because it is reversible (looks the exact same on both sides) and makes the blanket dense and beautiful.
### **Materials needed:***   **Yarn:** 4 to 5 skeins of **Alize Puffy Fine** (depending on how tightly you knit).*   **Blanket size:** Approximately **80 x 80 cm** or **85 x 85 cm** (standard baby blanket size).
### **Preparation:**1. Lay the yarn out on a flat surface (such as a table or the floor).2. Count **about 70 loops** from the end of the yarn. This will be the foundation row and the width of your blanket. (If you want a wider blanket, simply count more loops).
### **How to knit (Seed Stitch):**
The foundation of this pattern is alternating a **knit stitch** and a **purl stitch**.
*   **Knit stitch:** Take a loop from the working yarn (the yarn coming from the skein) and pull it through the foundation loop from **back to front**.*   **Purl stitch:** Take a loop from the working yarn and pull it through the foundation loop from **front to back**.
**Row-by-row pattern:**
*   **Row 1:** Start from the 70th loop you counted. Work the first loop as a **knit stitch** (pull the working loop from back to front). Work the second loop as a **purl stitch** (pull from front to back). The third loop is a knit stitch again, the fourth is a purl. Alternate **1 knit, 1 purl** until the end of the row.*   **Row 2:** You will now work your way back in the opposite direction (do not flip the blanket, just work from left to right). Here is the secret to the Seed Stitch: **work the opposite of what you see**. If the loop from the previous row is a knit stitch, work it as a purl stitch. If it is a purl stitch, work it as a knit stitch. Alternate to the end of the row.*   **Following rows:** Keep repeating Row 2. Always work back and forth (right to left, then left to right) without turning the work over, always knitting the purls and purling the knits, until you reach your desired length.
### **How to bind off (finish the blanket):**Once your blanket is long enough, you need to close the loops. Start from the side **opposite to your working yarn**. Take the second loop and pull it completely through the first loop. Then take the third loop and pull it through the second loop. Continue pulling the next loop through the previous one all the way across the edge. Finally, cut the working yarn (leaving a small tail), snip the base of the last loop to turn it into a straight string, pull it through the final loop, and weave it in securely.
