Alfred - Blanket

Soft, squishy and most of all, pretty simple - this blanket has a reversible pattern perfect for keeping little ones nice and snug.

Written in English using UK terms, row by row instructions are included.

Skills required: Cast on, knit, purl, cast off

Approximate size after blocking: 38x30 in

(Please note that I found this blanket gained a couple of inches during the blocking process – expect it to be slightly smaller before blocking.)

Yarn: I used Women’s Institute Soft and Smooth Aran (pictured in Salmon) but any yarn that meets the weight/tension requirements would be suitable.

Tension: 18 sts and 24 rows to 4 in/10cm square over st st using 5mm/#8 needles

Yarn Weight: Aran/Worsted

Yardage: 450gms/745m approx.
