Baby Blanket
I knitted this green baby blanket for the month of April.
A group of us women from church make blankets for all the babies
born at the local hospital.
Next month I'll go back to a weave-it baby blanket.
The yarn I used was Caron One Pound and the color is Kelly Green
and is Medium weight (4)
Size 10, 36 circular needle
Pattern called for bulky yarn number 5 but
I just used one strand of Medium weight.
There are 6 size blankets to knit.
Baby 27.75" x 35"
Small 31" x 39.5"
Medium 34.5" x 44"
Large 41.25" x 48.5"
XL 44.5" x 53"
XXLL 51.5" x 62
Bulky Yarn amount for each size
Baby 550 - 580 yards
Small 690 - 730 yards
Medium 860 - 900 yards
Large 1150 -1200 yards
XL 1330 - 1400 yards
