Skill Level: Easy.

The Posy Baby Blanket is an easy knit openwork pattern. No purling until last row.

The sample was knit in a superwash wool sport weight yarn, but would look great in any weight of yarn by adjusting the needle size, to get the desired openness of the pattern.

Gauge in Sport weight: 6.3 sts = 1 inch in pattern stitch
Getting exact gauge is difficult with this pattern. The wrapped stitches pull the pattern in, then once washed and blocked/laid flat to dry the stitches open up in both height and width.
