Like a well-known trade blanket, this baby blanket has stripes along the top, only in soft pastels. It consists entirely of knit stitches, so it is an excellent project for a beginner knitter. The pattern has directions for two sizes, 34 inches, and 36 inches.

The pattern is available as PDF, so you should be able to begin knitting (provided you have the materials) as soon as you place your order.

You will need:

Size 6 circular needles - 36 inches long
6 skeins of baby weight yarn for the main color (984 yards)
1 skein of baby weight yarn for the contrast (164 yards)
A darning needle and scissors to finish
