Thx Veeeeeeeeeeeery Muchhhhhhhhhhh…
Thank you so very much for posting this pattern. Love it.
thanks, glad this has helped you!
love the pattern…what type of yarn and needle size is required for a baby blanket?
Hi!
I usually like to use 4 ply for baby items and needle size between 3mm and 4mm. But it depends on your knitting, I knit quite tight.
Anyone out there can lend their opinion on this?
In looking at the pattern you have listed t4b with instructions as how to do that, but I don’t see t4b used in any of the pattern rows. I plan to start knitting as soon as I hear from you, since I don’t want to make a mistake so please explain. THANK YOU!!
You are right, there is no t4b, thanks for spotting that, I triple check things but some things my mind just misses, I will remove it!
Thank you for making me know I am not CRAZY! LOL Love the pattern :))
lol, thanks for your help!
Do you have a pure or bag pattern using the Basket Weave Aran Stitch?
No, I don’t sorry. If anyone knows of such a pattern kindly add the link to the comments!
Love your pattern, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing and posting this. I am fairly new to knitting and wonder how I can adapt your pattern to circular needles? Can you help me? Thanks ever so much.
I haven’t tested this, but to do it in the round: knit the odd numbered rows as written. Even rows: read from right to left and do the opposite for each stitch; I.e., if it says knit 6, you’ll purl 6. If it says purl 6, you’ll knit 6, etc.
