Picot-Edge Baby Blanket & Washcloth (in 3 gauges)

The Design “Add a pretty picot edge. Or leave it unadorned.” This easy garter-stitch blanket is based on the washcloth pattern our grannies used to make. We’ve added a pretty picot edge to dress it up, but you can leave it unadorned if you like. The washcloth makes a nice shower or housewarming gift tied up with a bar of soap. For a grown-up throw or afghan—just keep on knitting! See how we've used this pattern! The Details DK-WEIGHT BLANKET Finished Size: Approx. 29 x 29"/74 x 74cm.
