TWISTED OLD SHALE BABY BLANKET
TWISTED OLD SHALE BABY BLANKET
SIZES: 28 x 34 inches
MATERIALS:
Caron One Pound Soft Pink 12 ounces
US size 10 (6.0 mm) 24 inch or
longer circular knitting needle
Tapestry needle
NOTES:
- Read instructions through before beginning.
- The first and last 6 stitches of each row are
knit for the side borders.
- To increase the width cast on additional stitches
in multiples of 18.
- If you make your blanket larger you will need
more than 12 ounces of yarn.
- To purl through the back of the yarn over work
as in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MGUeMN7MNc The purl through the back loop is the
second half of the video.
- This blanket would be larger if blocked. For a baby blanket I prefer it
unblocked, it seems cuddlier without blocking.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Cast on 120 sts.
Rows 1-8: Knit for border.
Row 9 right side: K6, K2tog 3 times. *(YO, K1) 6 times. K2tog 6
times. Repeat from * to last 18
stitches. (YO, K1) 6 times. K2tog 3 times. K6.

When working the next row purl the YOs in the back
loop. Purl the other stitches normally.
Row 10: K6, P across to last 6 sts, K6. (120 sts)
Row 11: K. (120 sts)
Row 12: K. (120 sts)
Repeat rows 9-12 until blanket is about 1 1/2 inches
less than desired length.
