Knitting Pattern for Lap Blanket

This knitting pattern is for a striped blanket using 4 colors of medium weight yarn. The yarn in the pattern is Hobby Lobby I Love this Yarn - you need one skein of each color. Other medium weight #4 yarns can also be used.

This blanket is knit using size US 9 circular knitting needles. Circular are recommended to accommodate all the stitches but you can use straight needles if your prefer.

The pattern is an eight row repeat. The stitches you need to know to knit this pattern are knit and purl. The pattern is reversible - meaning it looks the same on both sides of the blanket. It is an easy pattern to follow and creates a pretty textured stitch design.

This blanket is a nice size for a lap blanket, wheel chair blanket or a car seat blanket. It measures approximately 36 inches long and 30 inches wide.
