Row 1: kfb into every stitch. You will now have twice the number of stitches than what you cast on, and will have increased by 5 stitches.

Row 2 and all alternate rows: Work even (no increases or decreases).

Row 3: Increase evenly along row by 5 stitches.

Work rows 2 and 3 until the piece is twice the width of your planned sphere. Work Row 2. If you are using a fine yarn with small needles (and therefore small stitches), work a further 2 rows.

Decrease Rows

Decease Row 1: Decrease evenly along row by 5 stitches.

Decrease Row 2: Work even.

Repeat these two rows until you have 5 stitches left.

Cut working yarn and thread thru live stitches and attach to center of blanket.
