Have I mentioned yet how very many people I know are expecting, or someone in their family is expecting? For starters, my sister-in-law is expecting, my niece's friend is expecting, an old co-worker of mine is expecting, and my previous boss is expecting grand baby number 2. That a lot of expectancy! Since I've just completed one of these blankies, let me share my pictures and the pattern in case any one wants to try it themselves.
I wanted a thick and fluffy blanket that would work up quickly, so I used two skeins of variegated yarn simultaneously. The pattern I chose is a crosshatch stitch. The pattern reads as follows:
Start: chain a multiple of 7 sts
Row 1: 2dc into 3rd st from hook, *sk 3ch, 1sc into next ch, 3ch, 1dc into each of next 3ch.** Rep from * to ** across to end. Last 4ch, sk 3ch, 1sc into last ch. 3ch, turn.
Row 2: 2dc into first sc. *Sk 3dc, 1sc into first of 3ch, 1dc into each of next 2ch, 1dc into next sc**. Rep from * to ** across to end. Sk last 2dc, 1sc into top of last st. 3ch, turn.
Row 3: repeat row 2 till desired size is reached.
Cheers!
