Kaia's Blankets

Three square-shaped baby blankets are included in this pattern. All three blankets begin in the center and are knit in garter stitch to the outer edge. Choose a plain center or lace heart design to start and then opt for one of three edgings/borders (picot, ruffle, or lace-heart) to finish your blankets. Samples were knit in sport or DK weight yarn  but you can use worsted weight yarn for a larger blanket.

Mr. Ben, the Sock Monkey, is available as a separate pattern.

Yarn:  Lace Heart Blanket and Picot Bind Off Blanket used 1500 yards of DK weight yarn. The Ruffle Edge version uses 1850 yards of DK weight yarn.

Needles: For DK weight yarn, use size 6US needles in double points and circular needles in 16", 24" and 40" lengths. The Ruffle Edge blanket will use two 60" circular needles. For worsted weight yarn, use size 8US needles.

Finished sizes: DK weight yarn blankets are 31" square. Blankets knit from worsted weight yarn are 35" square.
