This version of Sleepytime Sailboats has a newer, easier to read format; a better chart; and written directions for the chart.

This nautical themed blanket features sailboats in the middle with sections of Stockinette, Garter Stitch and a textured stitch that makes you think of a day at the beach. The pattern is written for stroller size, but could be made larger for crib size. All stitches are knit and purl.

The Sailboat chart is also written out. The stitches you need to know are:

➰ Knit
➰ Purl

Size 8 needles, and 4 colors of worsted weight yarn. I used about 100 yards each of white, green and blue, and about 40 yards of gray. See my blog at candylou.com/blog for yarn and color combinations for this charming blanket.
