The blanket is knit using size 8 US (5mm) knitting needles and the coordinating hat uses size 6 US (4.25mm) and size 8 US (5mm) knitting needles.

The weight of yarn is worsted weight yarn. I used cotton yarns, but feel free to use acrylic or wool.

The blanket has a garter stitch border along the top and bottom, with an I-cord edging knit along the side edges. The I-cord edging is knit right along with the rest of the blanket.

This blanket size is perfect for using in a stroller or with a car seat.

Pattern Stitch
This stitch is an easy stitch to memorize, so pattern is written and not charted.
