Walker Baby Blanket
Soft and squishy, this reversible blanket will keep a wee one cozy in a stroller, car seat, or crib. The blanket begins with a circular cast-on in the center with double-pointed needles, then is worked outward on progressively longer circular needles in four sections bounded by eyelet increases. A simple moss-stitch pattern is worked in ever-widening stripes of gray, blue, green, and gold. The blanket is edged with a striped garter-stitch border and finished with a decorative Channel Island bind-off. The yarn is a cotton/acrylic blend that’s safely machine washable.
The blanket starts on a set of five double-pointed needles, with one section of the blanket on each of four needles and a fifth working needle. As the number of stitches increases, change to progressively longer circular needles and use markers to denote the four sections.
