MATERIALS:

Caron One Pound Soft Pink 12 ounces

NOTES:

  1. Read instructions through before beginning.
  2. The first and last 6 stitches of each row are knit for the side borders.
  3. To increase the width cast on additional stitches in multiples of 18.
  4. If you make your blanket larger you will need more than 12 ounces of yarn.
  5. This blanket would be larger if blocked. For a baby blanket I prefer it unblocked, it seems cuddlier without blocking.
