MATERIALS Lion Brand Superwash Merino Cashmere Yarn: Ivory 8 Balls Lion Brand Double-Pointed Needles - Size 8 Lion Brand Split Ring Stitch Markers Lion Brand Cable Needles (Set of 2) Lion Brand Large-Eye Blunt Needles (Set of 6) Additional Materials Circular knitting needle size 8 (5 mm), 24 in. (61 cm) long Circular knitting needle size 8 (5 mm), 32 in. (81.5 cm) long Circular knitting needle size 8 (5 mm), 40 in. (101.5 cm) long GAUGE: 16 sts + 26 rnds = 4 in. (10 cm) in patterns. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles. STITCH EXPLANATION: 2/2 LC (2 over 2 left cross) Slip 2 sts to cable needle and hold in front of work, k2, then k2 from cable needle. kfb (knit in front and back) Knit next st without removing it from left needle, then k through back of same st - 1 st increased. w&t (wrap and turn) A technique used to ensure that a small hole doesn't form at the end of a short row. 1. Bring the yarn between the needles to the front of the work (the front is the side that is facing you). Take care not to wrap the yarn over a needle, this would create a new st. 2. Slip the next st from the left hand needle to the right hand needle as if to purl. 3. Turn the work. After turning, the yarn will be in the back of the work. 4. Bring the yarn between the needles to the front of the work. 5. Slip the first st on left needle as if to purl, back onto right needle. You will now have one stitch on the right needle with a wrap of yarn around the base of the st. 6. Bring the yarn between the needles to the back of the work and continue with the row. 7. When you encounter the wrapped st on the next row, lift the wrap with the tip of your right hand needle and work it together with the wrapped st.

3 yo (yarn over) An increase that also creates a small decorative hole (eyelet) in the fabric, worked as follows: 1. Bring yarn to front, between the needles. 2. Take yarn to back, over the right needle. This creates a new st. PATTERN STITCHES Ridge Rib (multiple of 4 sts + 2 additional sts) Rnds 1-3: P2, *k2, p2; rep from * to end of rnd. Rnd 4: Purl.

Work beg on double pointed needles (dpns), then changes to longer circular needles as sts are increased. 3. The border is worked in short rows, back and forth over 4-st sections, to create zigzag edges. Short rows are rows that are worked over a portion of the sts in a row, leaving the rem sts unworked. To work short rows, the pattern instructions will tell you to 'turn' before you reach the end of the row. 4. Blanket is worked in pattern sts as the number of sts in the Blanket are increased. As you work each pattern st, take time to study your knitting - this will help you the work the inc sts into the pattern sts. BLANKET With double pointed needles, cast on 12 sts. Divide sts onto 4 needles, with 3 sts on each needle. Join by working the first st on the left hand needle with the working yarn from the right hand needle and being careful not to twist sts.
