Basketweave Baby Blanket

Lion Brand® Babysoft®

GAUGE:

13 1/2 sts + 18 1/2 rows = 4 in. [10 cm] in Pattern, with 2 strands of yarn held together. 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:

1. Circular needle is used to accommodate large number of sts. Work back and forth on circular needle as if working on straight needles.
2. Blanket is worked with 2 strands of yarn held together throughout.

Basketweave Baby Blanket Reviewed by leslielwyatt on 2012-01-04 *****
Absolutely loved this pattern. I'm relatively new to knitting and this was my first big project. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out and neither could my cousin and her new baby boy.
