Hip To Be Square Blanket
By Jennifer Braico Hip To Be Square is a chunky blanket, knit in one piece with some visual interest, but basic enough for TV knitting. The pattern is based on the Squares Throw from Simple Knits for Easy Living by Erika Knight with no seaming. Size: 31" X 63"
Yarn: Four skeins of 10 ply Wool Pak by Merino Sheepskin Company, held double, or a worsted weight wool yarn held double Needles: Size 11US circular and dpns for i-cord edge Cast on 102 stitches. Row 1: (RS) Knit 21 stitches, purl 20 stitches, knit 20 stitches, purl 20 stitches, knit 21 stitches Row 2: Purl 21 stitches, knit 20 stitches, purl 20 stitches, knit 20 stitches, purl 21 stitches Repeat Rows 1 & 2 until you have 24 rows, then reverse stitching, creating pattern blocks. Continue in this manner, reversing stitch pattern every 24 rows, until you have 9 stacked rows of blocks, or desired length. Bind off on the last (24th) row of last block. Edging: Applied i-cord creates a neat finish. Here's an applied i-cord tutorial: http://kelleypetkun.typepad.com/yarn_rambles/2008/07/applied-i-cord.html
