baby p: December 2006 Archives

I'm ending 2006 with a bang.

Details

Pattern Entrelac Throw from Vogue Knitting Baby Blankets Two. This is a great little book. I'm surprised I haven't seen more baby blankets knit up from this book. At $11 it's a great buy too.
Yarn RYC Cashsoft DK and Cashsoft Baby DK in creamy white baby DK #801, light blue DK #503, tan baby DK #804, greenish-blue baby DK #805, and olive DK #516. I used just over 1 ball each (yes, *lots* of leftovers).
Needles Addi Turbos 4 mm / US #6
Measurements About 29" square.
Modifications Very minimal -- I substituted Lion Brand Cotton Ease (at 16 sts per 4") with Cashsoft DK (at 22 sts per 4"). I didn't do any extra squares so I got a much smaller blanket. Since I had a smaller gauge I did 3 sts in garter on the outer edges instead of the 2. I also mixed up the color combos because I didn't want the center to start out as a mirror image of itself.
