children's blanket 4 - follow the leader

I originally designed the sampler baby blanket before the birth of my first grandchild. Since then hundred of prospective moms and grandmothers have knit this blanket; many in my New York City Shop the woolgathering and many more in knitting in scottsdale.

The blanket is knit in strips, and then crocheted together. All the contrasting color is worked after completion, following very easy instructions.

FINISHED SIZE:

32.5 inches wide x 36 inches long

YARN USED FOR SAMPLE:

Rowan - Cashsoft dk
57% extra fine merino - 33% acrylic microfibre - 10% cashmere
50 grams - 142 yards each

10 balls
approximately 20 grams each of two shades of blue or pink dk weight or desired color

For the blanket to be the correct size, it is not the brand of yarn that matters, but the GAUGE that is important.

It is best to refer to the yardage to determine how many skeins or balls to purchase.

NEEDLES:

size 6 or size needles to obtain the correct gauge
Cable needle
Size G crochet hook
Two size 2 double pointed needles

OTHER NOTIONS:

gauge ruler
tapestry needle

GAUGE:

22-24 stitches and 32 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch on size 6 needles; or size needles to obtain the correct gauge.

You should use the recommended gauge, but it does not have to be as precise as for a sweater. If you are knitting tighter than the recommended gauge, the blanket will be smaller and use less yarn. If you are knitting looser than the recommended gauge, the blanket will be larger and use more yarn. Try different size needles if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.

SKILL LEVEL:

	Projects with a variety of stitches, such as basic cables and lace, simple intarsia, double-pointed needles and knitting in the round needle techniques, mid-level shaping and finishing.
