Baby blanket realized in diagonal, from one corner to the other.
I suggest this baby blanket for the beginners because it’s very simple to knit!
You can realize this in every colour (3 or 4 different colours) and you need 2 ball of each.
The stripes can be higher or lower, these are 14 rows.
This measure 50 x 50 cm, 20×20 inches, but you can choose the measure simply by stopping to increse and starting to decrease.
Necessary:
needle n. 4 mm / US 6
2 ball for each colour ( min. 6 ball) I used Drops Muskat in 3 different green
I suggest to read all the pattern before begin!
Let’s go!
cast on the needle 2 st. with the first colour.
Knit all the rows (garther st.) and increase after the penultimare st, like this:
Row 1 – knit 1, 1 yarn around the needle, knit 1 (3 st.)
Row 2 – knit 2, 1 yarn around the needle, knit 1 (4 st.)
Row 3 – knit 3, 1 yarn around the needle, knit 1 (5 st.)
Row 4 – knit 4, 1 yarn around the needle, knit 1 (6 st.)
Row 5 – knit 5, 1 yarn around the needle, knit 1 (7 st.)
Change the colour every 14 rows.
When one of the edge measures 50 cm (20 inches) knit 2 rows without increase and begin the decrease like this:
Row 1 – knit 1, slip one, 1 knit, pass the slip stitch over, knit until the end of the row.
Row 2 – knit 1, slip one, 1 knit, pass the slip stitch over, knit until the end of the row.
Continue until you have only 3 st. on the needle.
Cast off the st.
Finish!
