Tutorial: Lightweight knit receiving blanket with contrast binding

Ashley from Make It and Love It shows how to make a receiving blanket from knit fabric.  It’s a lightweight blanket, made from a single layer of knit fabric.  Bright binding adds a punch of color.  The rounded corners are a neat look and also eliminate the need to turn the binding around a tight corner.   With no bows or ruffles, the design works equally well for a boy or girl.  To make the blanket, she links to a previous tutorial.  In this post, she gives the templates for the whale and anchor appliques.  Go to her knit blanket tutorial.  Go to her post with the templates.
