Shaded Blanket
Lion Brand® Vanna's Choice®
GAUGE: 17 sts + 91/2 rows = 4" [10 cm] in ripple pattern 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: | sc2tog (sc decrease): Insert hook into stitch and draw up a loop. Insert hook into next stitch and draw up a loop. Yarn over, draw through all 3 loops on hook. |
NOTES: To change color, work last stitch until 2 loops remain on hook, yarn over with new color, and draw yarn through 2 loops on hook to complete stitch.

| Shaded Blanket Reviewed by Sara on 2009-01-02 |
 |
| Am in the process of making this baby blanket. It's a very easy and fast pattern. Mine seems to be a little tight though, so I think next time I'll go up a hook size.
