Knit Bright Stripes Baby Blanket

Lion Brand® Homespun®

GAUGE:

12 stitches + 24 rows = 4” [10 cm] in Garter Stitch (knit every row). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

Entire Blanket is worked in Garter Stitch diagonally from bottom right corner to top left corner. Circular needle is to accommodate large number of stitches. Do not join; work back and forth.
