Cast on 112 for 6 repeats and a 2 stitch border on each side. Old Shale has a pattern repeat of 18 sts.

Hoping for a blanket about 36-38” wide and 48” long.

Using a very lose chain cast on to match the bind off and the slipped stitch edge. Will slip last stitch of each row with yarn held to front.

Charted a striping pattern in Exel and planning to make two blankets with the colors reversed.

With a 4-row pattern repeat of off-white color between each color change, here is the line up of colors - each representing a 4 row chart repeat.

Row 1 of each new color: K
Row 2: P
Row 3: K2tog 3x, (yo, k1) 6x, K2tog 3x
Row 4: K
