Knitting a newborn blanket

[Rednursie]

I can cast on, knit and pearl. Is this enough for me to knit a baby blanket? I would really really love to but I get so flustered when I try and find a pattern online. They all seem so complicated!!!! Im not sure id be able to follow them. Do I have to do one with a pattern? Has anybody knitted a really simple basic blanket? I'd love if someone could help and point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance ladies xxxx

Hello, I don't see why you wouldn't be able too.
I would just make sure that you find the right wool and use appropriate size needles.
I began knitting my toddler a blanket which I wanted to turn into a quilt for winter. But now I wish I had chosen a lighter wool and used smaller needles so I have halted creating it.. Sure I will find a use for these wooly rectangles at some point ha
