From Knitting Pure and Simple: A super easy trio of blankets done with bulky weight yarn, in 2 sizes. The gauge for the blanket is 3 stitches to the inch, and you can use 2 strands of a worsted instead of bulky to get this gauge.

A cute pair of booties to match at 4 stitches to the inch makes this a wonderful fast baby gift.

Gauge for blanket - in stockinette stitch, 12 stitches equal 4 inches.

Gauge for booties - in garter stitch, 16 stitches equal 4 inches.
