NOTES
SKILL LEVEL: Easy
The blanket consists of main panel with top and lower band. Work the side bands separately and, at last, sew them at sides of main panel.
Excluding the rows in tubular st., work 1 selvage at beginning of every r.
MEASURES
71 x 71 cm
POINTS USED
Tubular stitch: using scrap yarn, cast-on half sts. that we need 1 st.
Change yarn and use the working yarn.
1st r. (forth): k1, (yo, k1), rep. until the end [you have doubled the sts. 1 st.]
2nd r. (back): slip 1st st. p-wise (this st. have been worked in knit st., across previous r.), (k1 on yo, slip 1 st. p-wise) rep. until the end.
3rd r.: k1, (slip 1 st. p-wise, k1) rep. across the entire r.
4th r.: slip 1 st. p-wise, (k1, slip 1 st. p-wise) rep. until the end.
Rib 2/2:
1st r.: (k2, p2) rep. until 2 sts. before the end, k2
2nd r.: (p2, k2) rep. until 2 sts. before the end, p2
Always rep. 1st and 2nd r.
Stocking stitch
1st r. (RS): knit.
2nd r. (WS): purl.
Always rep. 1st and 2nd r.
Reverse Stocking stitch
1st r. (RS): purl.
2nd r. (WS): knit.
Always rep. 1st and 2nd r.
Selvage: slip 1st st. of every r.
Bind off.: slip 1st st. k-wise, knit next st., pass slipped st. over knitted st., (knit next st., pass 1st st. over 2nd st. of right needle) rep. as many times as stated.
Decrease: k2tog
Increase (make one): using tip of needle, lift horizontal yarn between 2 sts. and knit through back loop.
INSTRUCTIONS
MAIN PANEL
Using size 3 mm needles and scrap yarn, cast-on 93 sts. 1 st. Change the yarn and using yellow yarn work 4 r. in tubular st. on 186 sts. 1 st.
Cont. working 11 r. rib 2/2, decr. 1 st. across 1st r. (= 186 sts.). The band measures 4.5 cm approx.
Cont. in stocking st.
1st r. (RS): knit decr. 44 sts. (1 decr. = k2tog) uniformly; there are 142 sts.
Using size 3.5 mm needles and variegated col., work in stocking st. as foll.:
2nd r. (WS): p71, k71
3rd r. (RS): k71, p71
4th r. (WS): p71, k71
Always cont. rep. 3rd and 4th r. until piece in stocking st. measures 31 cm, then reverse the setting.
Next r. (RS): p71, k71
Next r. (WS): k71, p71
Rep. last 2 r. reaching 31 cm from previous setting.
Last r. in stocking st. (RS): knit, working 44 incr. uniformly (=186 sts.).
Use size 3 mm needles and yellow col. and, for top band shaping, work 4.5 cm rib 2/2, beginning with 1 r. on WS. At last, bind off all sts.
SIDE BANDS (x 2)
Using scrap yarn, cast-on 117 sts. 1 st.
Using yellow yarn, work 4 r. in tubular st. on 234 sts. 1 st.
Cont. working 11 r. rib 2/2, decr. 1 st. across 1st r. (= 234 sts.). The band measures 4.5 cm. At last, knit 1 r. on RS, then bind off all sts.
NB: every knitter has own working tension, so check that beginning 234 sts. in tubular st. are suited to side edge of main panel, otherwise adjust the number of sts.
FINISHING
Using darning needle and yellow yarn, sew side bands at sides of main panel (using your favorite sewing technique).
Hide the ends on WS.
