BLANKET:
Worked back and forth. Cast on 108-170 stitches on circular needle size 3 mm / US 2.5 with
BabyMerino. Work 3 ridges in GARTER STITCH - see explanation above. Then work as follows
from right side:
Work 3 stitches in garter stitch, 3-4 stitches in stockinette stitch, * A.1 (= 14 stitches), A.2 (= 8
stitches) over 16 stitches (= 2 times in width) *, work from *-* 1-2 times in total, A.1 over 14
stitches, A.2 over 8 stitches, A.1 over 14 stitches, * A.2 over 16 stitches (= 2 times in width),
A.1 over 14 stitches *, work from *-* 1-2 times in total and finish with 3-4 stitches in
stockinette stitch and 3 stitches in garter stitch.
When A.1 and A.2 have been worked 1 time vertically, there are 126-200 stitches on needle.
Continue in garter stitch and stockinette stitch and work A.3 over every A.1 and A.4 over
every A.2. Continue pattern like this. REMEMBER THE GAUGE! When piece measures 48-78
cm, adjust to finish on 1st-6th row in A.4. Now work A.5 over every A.3 and A.6 over every
A.4. When A.5 and A.6 have been worked 1 time vertically, there are 108-170 stitches on
needle. Work 3 ridges. Bind off.
