Stash Busting Challenge

Charity Baby Blankets

 

Its very cold today and where better to be than in the warm with your needles and a cup of tea!

 

Have finished off my second baby blanket using the "odds" from my stash.

 

One pink ......

 

One blue ........

These blankets are really simple, (and quick!) knitted corner to corner, and the finished size requirements are 15" square and above (I believe to 21")

So if you would like to have a go

DK yarn, 4 - 4.5 mm needles

Cast on 2 stitches
First row - knit 1, knit front and back of second stitch (so as to increase)
Second row - knit 1, knit front and back of next stitch, knit rest of row
Keep doing the above, increasing into the second stitch until you have the required length and then start decreasing
Knit 1, knit 2 together, knit remainder of row
Until you have 2 stitches remainder - bind off.

 

Another few grams busted ....!
