Nine blocks are assembled as the work progresses (pick up stitches to start next block in direction shown in diagram).

Work edging in garter stitch to finish. (Edging is worked with solid sections of yarn only.)

Ed. note: When using Bernat Baby Jacquards Florals, the jacquard portions of the yarn are worked in stockinette stitch, with the solid color portion of yarn worked in garter stitch, giving a striped effect to the work.

Bernat Yarn Notes:

The best effect of yarn patterning you can achieve is with Bernat Baby Jacquards Florals: #06332 (Petunia), #06700 (Orange Blossom) #06201 (Bluebell). But it does not mean you can not use other colors. They will just be striping differently.

Bernat® Baby Jacquards is designed to create stripes and jacquard effect fabric as you knit. There are long sections of solid colors in stepping shades from light to dark then back to light, each approx from 3 to 15 yds (.7 to 14 m) long depending on the yarn design.

The printed jacquard sections are also approx from 3 to 15 yds (.7 to 14 m) long depending on the yarn design. When joining a new ball of yarn, match color of new yarn to previous ball for pattern continuity.
