S905 Knitted Baby Blanket

Size: 74cm wide x 88cm long (29¼“ x 34¾”)

Materials: 4 x 100g balls of Chenille yarn. 8mm knitting needles. Darning needle.

Abbreviations: cont - continue, k - knit, p - purl, patt - pattern, st(s) - stitch(es)

Tension: 8.5sts and 15 rows to 10cm, on 8mm needles or size required to give correct tension.

Important: It is essential to work to the correct tension to ensure success.

Blanket Pattern:

Cast on 63 sts.

Row 1 - (k7, p7) 4 times. k7.
Row 2 - p7. (k7, p7) 4 times.
Repeat rows 1 and 2, 5 times more. (12 rows)
Row 13 - (p7, k7) 4 times. p7.
Row 14 - k7. (p7, k7) 4 times.
Repeat rows 13 and 14, 5 times more. (24 rows)

These 24 rows form patt.

Cont in patt until blanket measures 88cm, ending with row 11 of patt.

Cast off in patt.

Break off yarn, leaving a 10cm end and thread through loop. Using darning needle weave in ends.

Swatch x3 done in 8mm, 9mm, and 10mm needle sizes.

Decided on 10mm, as it gives the correct tension needed.

Done all of the first row in knit by accident. face_palm::skin-tone-2

So the actual starting row 1 of the pattern is now my row 2.

Must remember - Do one knit row at end before casting off.

I’ve done 9 rows of the pattern, and it just seems a lil holey. Like pinkie finger hole size easily.

Not safe for a baby. Philangies and/or hands would get stuck. And if I gave it to a child (Lins said Sahara would love it - well duh! It’s pink.), They’d end up catching it on stuff. I know I would.
