Knit Knacks: Fish's Blanket

 Fish's blanket is done in what you would call a 'moss stitch'. Again, it's one pound of yarn, worsted weight. Size 11 needles.

Cast On 120

*Knit 1, purl 1 repeat pattern all the way across the row.

Purl 1, knit 1 repeat pattern all the way across.

(Pay attention to your stitches from the previous row, you want the opposite stitch of the one in the previous row, or you will end up with Boy's blanket.)

Repeat from * all the way through until desired length.

I finished the outside of this blanket with a border of Double Crochet stitches. Just double crochet into every stitch all the way around. Double crochet three times into the same stitch at every corner.

Knit Knacks: Cookie's Blanket

It's hard to tell in this picture, but Cookie's blanket is pretty cool, if I do say so myself. Again, it's pretty simple, but it creates a basket-weave like texture.

This was done in worsted weight yarn with size 11 needles.

Cast On 110 stitches.

*Knit 5, Purl 5 repeated all the way across.

Repeat for 5 rows.

Now Purl 10, Knit 10 repeated all the way across.

Repeat for 5 rows.

Back to * and repeat until desired length. Cast Off.
