As the years go by, it becomes apparent that life is like chapters in a book. Some chapters in life may seem somewhat ordinary, while others are sad and challenging. There are times when a momentous event signifies that life is in this chapter: welcoming a new baby to the family, moving into a new home, sending a child off to college, marking a milestone birthday, or celebrating the wedding of two special people. These are the chapters that hopefully bring happiness and joy.

Approximate sizes after blocking…
Baby Blanket: 26.5” wide x 33” long
Small Blanket: 29.5” wide x 37” long
Medium Blanket: 32” wide x 39” long

Pattern includes instructions for making blanket wider and/or longer. It's easy to make any of the sizes longer by adding pattern repeats. Each pattern repeat adds about 2” to the length of the blanket. Pattern includes estimates for additional yardage needed to make each size longer.

Baby: 610 - 630 yards
Small: 770 - 800 yards

Be sure to buy additional yarn if you plan to add length to your project.
I used Blue Sky Fibers ‘Sweater’ heavy worsted yarn in the ‘Sea Horse’ colorway. This pattern will work well with many worsted, heavy worsted or Aran weight yarns.
Stitch pattern looks attractive with solid color yarns, as well as gently variegated, hand dyed colorways.
See lots of yarn options in my blog post about worsted weight yarns for blanket knitting.
GAUGE:
Pattern stitch with US size 8 needles: approximately 18 stitches & 25 rows = 4”
Exact gauge is not essential. This stitch pattern looks best with fairly tight stitches.
I used US size 8 knitting needles. Choose the needle size that gives the best appearance with your yarn and your knitting tension.
NEEDLES:
Blanket knit flat, in one piece, back and forth on circular knitting needles in order to accommodate the large number of stitches.
