A Hansel for our neighbor’s baby girl.

Smaller needle for a more dense fabric, superwash and soft merino for busy parents and sensitive baby skin.

Size before/after wet blocking:
105 x 105 cm / 125 x 125 cm

Center:
194 st. diagonal
242 gr, 65 cm per side

Border
Picked up 96 st. per side
Knit through the back loop for a crisis-cross effect
Increased to 120 per side (k3, k1 f&b) = multiple of 18 + 12
Final stitches per side after row 50 of the border = 168
Decrease to 144 st. per side

A remark about the yarn:
All balls were underweight, 45-47 gr.. I had the buy more yarn, sometimes only for a few stitches.
