Twin Lakes Blankie
Lion Brand® Cotton-Ease®
GAUGE: 15 sts + 19 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in pattern st, with 2 strands of yarn held tog. 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.

| Wanted to knit a traditional baby blanket for a co-worker's shower. I thought the double-strand weight would be perfect. It turned out lovely. I added a few extra rows to the overall length as it was not as long as I hoped, so it can be used thru the toddler years. And, as you are constantly changing stitches (seed/purl/knit) it was easier to use the stitch markers as your guides so you don't have to stop and count stitches all the time. But, we all knew that, right? Didn't take long at all to complete. I have used the basket-weave stitch in previous scarf patterns and found it emphasized the light/shadow of this stitch combo best if you used light-colored yarn. Therefore, for this blanket I used a light denim/white combo yarn, which highlights the cross-hatch to its best advantage.
