The main stitch used to make this blanket is called ‘Seed’ stitch in America and ‘Moss’ Stitch in the UK. I’ve chosen this stich as I wanted texture to contrast with the smoothness of the stocking/ stockinette rows of the stripes. I also needed a stitch that would work sideways as this is knitted from side to side and not top to bottom. I was happy with the result. I hope you like it too.

The finished blanket can be used for a baby or toddler. It’s an easy knit with not too many instructions and can be knitted in a few days.
