Diagonal Comfort Blanket

Lion Brand® Cotton-Ease® (new)

GAUGE:

16 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter st (k 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:

Circular needle is used to accommodate large number of stitches. Knit Blanket back and forth in rows as if knitting with straight needles.

Diagonal Comfort Blanket Reviewed by Charlotte Xanders on 2009-11-06 *****
I have made probably 12 baby blankets with this pattern; I love soft cotton yarn for this -- making it with a multi-color cotton yarn (pink,yellow,white,green for girls; blue,yellow,white,green for boys) comes out great and doesn't show any small mistakes as a solid does; also works well with homespun. I also use this pattern with a k2 border for dishcloths (by the 10's) and even smaller baby washcloths: a gift of 3 in sweet colors makes a lovely shower present. I love a pattern that I can do when traveling, chatting, etc.
