The Little One

**Note: This pattern will be free until October 31st, 2016.** Errata, Correction to the Chart: The 3rd YO in Chart row 7 was placed one stitch too early. This has been corrected in the current downloadable version. "The Little One" is a lacy, airy, cuddly blanket for your little one and will also be a great decorative touch in your nursery. Or, if you're feeling up for a larger project turn it into a larger blanket for an adult to cuddle up in, by simply adding more pattern repeats per row. You may knit the lacy pattern from a chart or follow row by row instructions. The project is worked flat from the bottom up, first you're knitting the garter stitch edging, then the lace pattern including the right and left edges, then you're ending with a garter stitch edging. **Size** Sample Blanket is 32" x38" (81 cm x 96 cm) Add more pattern repeats per row to make your project larger. One pattern repeat in sample gauge is 5.5" wide after blocking. **Yarn, Needles, Notions** Worsted Weight Yarn: 700 - 800 yds (640 - 730 m) Sample: Knit Picks Preciosa Tonal, Colorway Stormy 3 skeins @ 273 yds each Needles: US #8 (5 mm) 32"(80 cm) or 40" (100 cm) Circular Needle Notions: Darning or Tapestry Needle to weave in ends Stitch Markers **Gauge** Gauge is not critical for this project, however a different gauge will likely result in a different size and/or yarn requirements. 17 sts and 24 rows over 4" (10 cm) in Stockinette Stitch worked flat on US #8 (5 mm) after blocking.
