6-Day Ridgy Didge Baby Blanket

This blanket is a variation on the classic 6-Day Kid Blanket (6DKB). This textured stripe was conceptualized by Diane Kagay and members of the 6-Day Blanket Group and was named by Sue McKinnon and Katie Poli. I used the textured Ridgy Didge stripes as inspiration to create this new border. There is a full-sized version of this pattern in the works called the 6-Day Ridgy Didge Blanket.

Stitches: this pattern uses the same six rows of stitches that the 6-Day Kid Blanket uses with color changes on a different row and textured stitches added. Straight top and bottom: The original started and ended with chevrons, this blanket has options to start and end with a straight edge with optional instructions for chevron start.
