Following the instructions below (casting 97 stitches) will give you a blanket that is about ~29''�wide. This was made to be a small carriage blanket. Add repeats (see below), if you want to make yours longer.

You will need :

K7, *yf, SKP, k6; rep from* to last 5 stitches,

Purl until last 5 stitches left,

K5, *k2tog, yf, k1, yf, SKP, k3; rep from * to last 7 stitches, K2, K1, p1, k1, p1, k1

US 7 - 4.5mm circular needles (36'' long).

1 ball of Pound of love (or equivalent yarn; I had more than half of the ball left over; so for this small blanket I used less than 500 yards)

(updated March 14, 2012)

The blanket consists of moss stitch edges, and a tulip lace body.

K1, *k2tog, YF, k1, Y F, SKP, K3; repeat from * to last 11 sts, k2tog, YF, k1, Y F, SKP, k1,

Note: This was my very first pattern written; so it was simple notes that I could follow. I've now updated it to help some of those that have gotten confused in the past.

Abbreviations:

Odd rows (RS) are the tulip lace pattern; it appears in bold text. Moss stitch edge of the blanket appears in red/regular text.

Cast on 97 stitches (or multiple of 8 plus 17 - as I mentioned above, 97 stitches gave me ~29'' width)
