Copplestone Baby Blanket

The interesting pattern on this baby blanket is mosaic or slip-stitch knitting. Only one colour is used in any row, the remaining stitches are simply slipped.
The basic pattern is garter stitch, so no purling at all, which makes for a thick, warm blanket.

The pattern has two options for edges. You can make the blanket as shown with solid borders added after the main blanket has been finished, or if you do not want to pick up stitches, you can knit the borders at the same time which will result in striped borders (not shown).

The pattern is both written and charted so you can work from whichever you prefer.

You will need approx. 3 (5) x 50g balls in C1 Main shade & 3 (5) x 50g balls in C2 Contrast colour
OR approx. —500 (850) meters / 547 (930) yds in C1 Main shade & 400 (700) meters / 438 (766) yds in C2 Contrast colour.

This is a straighforward knit, with only knit and slip stitches. If you are adding borders afterwards you will also need to know how to pick up stitches.
