Log Cabin Pocket Blankie

Lion Brand® Martha Stewart CraftsTM/MC Extra Soft Wool Blend

GAUGE:

20 sts + 26 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Broken Rib. 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 STITCHES
Broken Rib (worked over a multiple of 2 sts + 1 additional st)
Row 1:
*K1, p1; rep from * to last st, k1.
Row 2 (RS): Knit.
Rep Rows 1 and 2 for Broken Rib.

Basketweave Pattern (worked over a multiple of 8 sts + 2 additional sts)
Rows 1-5:
K1, *k4, p4; rep from * to last st, k1.
Row 6: Purl.

NOTES:

1. Blanket beg with a Beginning Square. Sts for each 'log' of the log cabin are picked up across one edge of the previous piece.
2. Logs are worked back and forth in rows. A circular needle is used to accommodate the number of sts. Work back and forth in rows on circular needle as if working on straight needles.
3. Refer to diagram for where to pick up sts for each log.

Log Cabin Pocket Blankie Reviewed by CHARLOTTE A STEVENS on 2013-02-05 *****
Made this for my Great Grandson What a HIT! The Martha Stewart Yarn was Glorious, the pattern was delightful. Made this in a weeks time, and Loved Loved, it, and so did He. The pocket was a hit with him, and the compliments I received made me cry. After a day at school, homeworked out, he sat on the landing of the steps, and wrapped himself up in it, and hasn't let it go since then...Thank you Lion Brand for this pattern and Martha Stewart for the cuddley yarn. I would post pictures, but the site they are posted on won't allow me... IT IS GEORGEOUS!
