To make a doll–size blanket size 13 inches (33cm) x 16 inches (41cm) use the following:
You will need:
1 ball of baby soft turquoise blue double knit yarn.
1 ball of baby soft white double knit yarn.
Knitting needles size 6mm (UK 4. US 10).
Note:
When changing from one colour of yarn to another to make the striped pattern, always change to a new colour on the same side of the blanket.
If you want a tighter–knit blanket use knitting needles size 4.5mm (UK 7. US 7) instead of the larger size. This will make the blanket slightly smaller but still substantial enough.
Method:
Cast on 60 stitches using the blue yarn.
Knit each row in garter stitch until the blue stripe measures 2.5 inches (6.5cm).
Change to the white yarn.
Knit alternate blue and white stripes until you have six stripes.
Bind off and secure the ends of the yarn by weaving them into the blanket edges.
The small blanket is ideal for tucking up favourite dolls and soft toys.
This matches the Easy Knit Baby Blanket.
