Helping ourusers. Knit Diamond Baby Blanket.
You’ll need:
4 skeins of Berroco Vintage Chunky in Oats (136yrds/ 125m per ball);
Knitting needles 8,5 mm.
Size: 24” x 25”.
Stitches control: 17 sts x 28,5 rows = 10 x 10 cm.
Notes
The first and last 2 stitches of the blanket are done in garter stitch to be worked on all rows (except the first and last 4 rows). The 3rd stitch and 3 rd last stitch are a Stockinette stitch border to be worked on all rows (except the first and last 4 rows.) So it looks like this for all but the first and last 4 rows: (RS) k3, work chart 12 times, k3. (WS) k2, p1, work chart 12 times, p1, k2)
