MATERIALS

  • 7 (12) balls of Purl Soho’s Wigeon, 100% fine Falkland merino. Each ball is 359 yards/ 100 grams; approximately 2,513 (4,200) total yards required. We used Warm Ivory.
  • US 5 (3.75 mm), 40- or 60-inch circular needles, depending on size you are making
  • 18 (30) stitch markers (or pieces of scrap yarn) in six colors: 3 (5) markers of each color (see Notes)

GAUGE
24 stitches and 56 rows (or 28 garter ridges) = 4 inches in garter stitch

SIZES
Crib (Throw)

Finished Dimensions: Approximately 33¾ inches wide x 43 inches long (56¼ inches wide x 43 inches long)

NOTE: You cast on for the Crib size blanket along the short side, which orients the slip-stitch columns vertically. For the Throw size, you cast on along the long side, which orients the columns horizontally.

Sample: We knit the Crib size.

NOTES
COLUMN REPEAT
One Column Repeat consists of 6 Slip Stitch Columns. You will work 3 (5) Column Repeats across the blanket, giving you a total of 18 (30) Slip Stitch Columns.

STITCH MARKERS
The pattern uses stitch markers to indicate where to work each Slip Stitch Column. You will place 3 (5) of Markers A, B, C, D, E, and F for each Column Repeat. We recommend using six different colors of stitch markers to easily differentiate between Markers A, B, C, D, E, and F (make a little key for yourself!). Slip markers as you come to them.
