DIRECTIONS:
STITCH EXPLANATION:Yo (yarn over)
An increase that also creates a small decorative hole (eyelet) in the fabric, worked as follows:
1. Bring yarn to front, between the needles.
2. Take yarn to back, over the right hand needle. This creates the new st. You are now ready to proceed with the next st as instructed.
NOTES:
The Blanket is worked in one piece on a circular needle.
The Blanket is worked diagonally from corner to corner in 2 sections.
The first section increases the number of sts and the second section decreases the sts.
A circular needle is used to accommodate the number of stitches. Work back and forth in rows on the circular needle, just as if working on straight needles.

Easy Knit
This is a fun blanket to knit. It's just such a shame that the pattern wasn't checked more carefully for accuracy. In the row where is says to knit with B until 1/2 stitches. I believe it is supposed to be 132 stitches.

Cute
I thought this pattern was so cute I had to make it. I ended up winging part of the pattern when you get to the row where it tells you 1/2 stitches. I thought it meant 112 stitches but that was too little so I did 122 and wish I had done more. Overall the blanket is turning out nicely.

I wanna knit a baby blankie.
Pattern reads, "With B, rep Row 4 until you have 1/2 sts" does not make any sense when you just completed 50 stitches on your neddle
