ISuper Simple Chemo Blanket By Mimi
Yarn: Zebra Stripes Red Heart Light & Lofty Multi Yarn weight Super Bulky (5-6 wpi) Gauge 5 stitches and 8 rows = 4 inches in ss Needle size US 17 - 12.75 mm circs with long cable Yardage 864 - 900 yards (790 - 823 m) Sizes 42 x 70 and variable I have been asked many times how this blanket was made. It really is less about a pattern and all about the yarn. This throw is super easy but very useful and attractive. The yarn automatically creates alternating stripes and does have that zebra effect. The larger needle on long cables makes the blanket more manageable as it grows. CO 200 OR whatever you need for desired width. Simple garter stitch border starts the blanket for 3 rows (all K) body of throw is: RS row k across WS row k3: p till last 3 stitches then k3 Continue until throw is as long as you want then add last 3 rows garter stitch to prevent curling.
