Basy Peasy Baby Blanket
Supplies: US 6 straight or circular needles. I recommend circular because the weight of the blanket will be supported by the cable connecting the needles. Two skeins of Bernat Baby Jacquards in Rosebud 5 stitches in stockinette stitch to one inch on Us6 needles. Gauge is not really important for this pattern. My finished dimensions: Width: 25 % inches. Length: 25 i Directions: Cast on stitches in multiples of eight. You can make this blanket as big or a small as you'd like. Knit 10 rows. Starting on wrong side: 1. K4, \*p\* to last four stitches, K4 2. K Repeat rows one and two. Continue until the blanket is the size you want or until you are almost out of yarn. Knit 10 rows Bind off loosely. Weave in ends. This will curl a little bit due to the stockinette stitch, but the border will help keep it from curling a lot. You can make the top and bottom border bigger if you'd like, just increase the amount knit in multiples of four. Other ideas for this blanket: A more advanced knitter would be able to do an intarsia pattern in the body of the blanket using any sport or DK weight yarn. You do not have to use a jacquard yarn, but rather a solid color if you'd prefer. Copyright 2011 Jenn Dixon Pattern is for personal use only. http://www.ludicraft.com
