Knitted Baby Stroller Blanket

My daughter-in-law received a cute bright colored stroller/car-seat sized knitted blanket when she was expecting her first daughter.  I saw it and instantly thought of this pattern.  This is a dishcloth pattern my mom has made for many, many years. I changed the size of the needles, found a soft yarn that comes in some fun colors for babies and it's so easy they work up fast!


TECHNIQUE USED: Knit
MATERIALS: Lion Brand "Vanna's Choice" baby 7 0z (color choice optional)
GAUGE: size 11 knitting needles
INSTRUCTIONS:
With MC cast on 5.
Row 1: K2, YO, K across.
Row 2: K2, YO, K across. Repeat rows 1 & 2 until you have reached 100 stitches.
Row 96: K2, YO, K2tog twice, K across.
Row 97: K2, YO, K2tog twice, K across. Repeat row 96 & 97 until the end bind off.


ABBREVIATIONS: 
K = Knit
K2tog = Knit two stitches together
MC = main color CC = contrast color
YO= yarn over

    1. All of the blankets I have made have been given away so I don't have one to actually measure, but it is just a small square, perfect to cover a baby while in a car seat.
