GAUGE:
18 sts + 28 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS);
18 sts + 35 rows = 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.
STITCH EXPLANATION:
PATTERN STITCH (BLANKET) Seed Stitch (over an even number of sts)
Row 1: *K1, p1; rep from * to end of row. Row 2: P the knit sts, and k the purl sts.
Rep Row 2 for Seed st.
NOTES:
1. Cardigan yoke and sleeves are worked horizontally, then stitches are picked up across edge of yoke for back and fronts.
2. Blanket is worked in one piece.
3. A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of sts for the Blanket. Work back and forth on circular needle as if working on straight needles.
4. Garter st (k every row) does not have a definite right side. When dividing for Cardigan neck, decide which side you'd like to be the RS and mark it with a stitch marker or piece of yarn.
