I think the dewdrop pattern would make a nice baby blanket or lapgan. The pattern is easy to follow with an 8 row repeat. Special stitches in this pattern include yarn over, slip stitches, knitting two together and passing the slip stitch over. If you are comfortable with these stitches, this pattern will work up quickly.
