need something simple for car knitting. found it actually looking for something to do with my Fondant colorway of Sweet Georgia… but then realized any of my stripy sock yarns might work.

Gauge swatch on size 8. Went down to size 7 for the blanket. Gauge swatch had several steeks cut into it for testing. Best was when the steek was around 2 single stitches instead of further apart. Used Crochet method to secure stitches, tacked down on the back and did a row of shell stitch…
lovely lavender.
