CREATE<br />

<strong>Blanket</strong><br />

Using 4.00mm (US 6), (UK 8)<br />

<strong>Needles</strong>, cast on 75 sts (see note<br />

above).<br />

Knit in garter st until work<br />

measures 150 cms/59 ins from<br />

beg, working last row on WS.<br />

Cast/bind off loosely (see note<br />

above).<br />

FINISHING<br />

DO NOT PRESS. Using yarn<br />

needle, darn in ends.<br />

ABBREVIATIONS<br />

St/s - stitch/es, K - Knit, RS - right<br />

side, WS - wrong side, garter st -<br />

every row knit, beg - begin/ning.<br />

SPECIAL NOTE<br />

For cast on - Work the thumb<br />

method when casting on sts rather<br />

than using a pair of needles, ensure<br />

that each stitch has a pom pon.<br />

When knitting make sure that on<br />

each stitch a pom pon is left at the<br />

back of the work, ie. work each stitch<br />

between each pom pon on the yarn.<br />

For cast/bind off - knit into front<br />

of st, then slip the remainder of the<br />

st from left h<strong>and</strong> needle onto right<br />

h<strong>and</strong> needle, thus creating 2 sts.<br />

Repeat this for all sts across row,<br />

thus doubling the amount of sts,<br />

then cast/bind off sts loosely in usual<br />

manner.<br />
