Find this pattern here on Ravelry. The easiest, funkiest baby blanket, ever. Or that I've personally seen. ;) I'm not a big fan of pastels, and when my good friend, Kris got pregnant, I really wanted to make a great baby blanket but couldn't find anything that was fun, easy, quick, and colorful. All important, since my yarn arrived two weeks before her duedate. The toddler size makes a great lap blanket, and this could easily be adjusted by casting on more, or using more skeins for length to make it an adult sized blanket. Some color ideas: Azure & Periwinkle, Pink & Buttermilk, LightBlue & Buttermilk, Blue & Light Blue, Lime & Azure, Burnt Sienna & Azure, Burnt Sienna & Lime, Orange & Yellow, Red & Yellow. Size Infant 28 x 34\* Toddler - 34 x41
Material List
Knit Picks Crayon {100% pima cotton; DK weight}; 5[7] skeins of each color. 1 pair US #10 straight or circular needles \*do not join\*
Modeled byAayla,shown in orange & yellow.

3.5 stitches per inch With this blanket it's really not imperative to do a gaugeswatch. \*I'm not certain what the final length was on the infantsize.
Pattern

shown in azure&sienna Weave in all loose ends, at least 3"since this is machine washable yarn, and you want it to hold up. Fold up, and wrap with a ribbon and give it to the happy new mom, she will love it. :) If you use this pattern, I would love to see the finished results. You can reach me at ravelry!
