A totally reversible baby blanket that is almost mindless knitting uses 2 strands of worsted weight yarn worked together and a large size needle.

Finished Size is approximately

38” wide and 38” long

Materials:                                                            

6 skeins Worsted weight yarn

(220 yards each)

Size 13 needles **

  **I prefer to use a 24” circular and work back and forth

2 markers

Holding 2 strands of yarn together  CAST ON 100 stitches

BOTTOM BORDER

Knit 12 rows = 6 ridges

PATTERN #1 = 10 ridges

Rows 1 thru 20 = 10 ridges

K5, PM, *K15, P15, rep from *to last 5 sts, PM, K5

PATTERN #2 = 10 ridges

Rows 1 thru 20= 10 ridges

K5, M, *P15, K15, rep from *to last 5 sts, M, K5

Repeat patterns 1 and 2 TWICE more. 

This will give you 6 “blocks” across and 6 “blocks” long

TOP BORDER  Knit 12 rows = 6 ridges

Bind off.  Weave in ends. Enjoy !

HELPFUL HINT: An Easy way to keep track of the 20 pattern rows is to place a pin or tie a small piece of contrast color yarn on the first row of the pattern garter stitch border and then when you have 10 ridges you will know that you've worked 20 rows. 

Keep moving your pin or yarn marker up as you finish the patterns.
