GAUGE:

9 sts and 18 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in garter stitch (knit 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.

Diagonal Pattern Baby Blanket Reviewed by Beth Hoffman on 2009-09-06
I've knit several of these as gifts for new mothers and they have enjoyed receiving them! I'm a fairly experienced knitter and this is very easy to knit even though it appears to be a more complex pattern when completed. It is machine washable and very soft! Great for a new Mom!
