BLANKIE
Cast on 68 sts.
Rows 1-8 Knit every stitch on every row for a total of 8 rows to make the bottom border on
the Blankie.
Row 9 Knit first 14 stitches, purl next 10 stitches, knit next 10 stitches, purl next 10
stitches, knit next 10 stitches, purl next 10 stitches, knit last 4 stitches.
Rows 10-18 Work just the same as Row 9.
Row 19 Knit first 4 stitches, purl next 10 stitches, knit next 10 stitches, purl next 10
stitches, knit next 10 stitches, purl next 10 stitches, knit last 14 stitches.
Rows 20-28 Work just the same as Row 19.
Rows 9-28 form the Blankie pattern stitch. After you finish Row 28, follow the instructions
for Rows 9-28 five more times. (In other words, you will have worked Rows 9-28 a total of six
times.)
NOTE
When you get close to using all the yarn in the first skein, you will need to join the second
skein as follows: At the end of a row, cut the yarn from the first skein, leaving a long tail. Tie
the yarn from the second skein to this tail, again leaving a tail of yarn. You will weave these
tails in later. Attach third and fourth balls of yarn in the same way.
When you’ve finished Row 28 for the 6th time, knit 8 rows (knit every stitch on
every row) to make the top border.
Bind off all stitches. Cut yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread the tail into a large-eyed blunt
needle, and use the needle to weave the tail through the Blankie. Trim end of tail. In the same way,
weave in the tail from the beginning of your work and the tails from where the second, third, and
fourth balls were joined. |
