One-Skein Wonders for Babies
Designed by Gwen Steege
This lightweight blanket would be an ideal gift for a summer baby. The pattern is based on both lace and ribbed motifs. Don’t be alarmed if it seems rather narrow when you’re knitting. Blocking will stretch and smooth the blanket, revealing its lacy pattern. Even blocked, however, it remains stretchy, a plus when you’re wrapping it around the baby.
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS

20 stitches and 30 rows = 4"/10 cm in pattern stitch, blocked
