Between the yarn and the edging, it’s not too bad. It might be curlier in wool…

Hi, I absolutely love your blanket and the choice of colors! Does it curl because of the stockinette stich?

Thanks

People often use PU and PU & knit interchangeably. Just go by the context. If you see “PU” and there are no held stitches waiting for you, then you just assume that it means pick up & knit, where you make new stitches.

There’s no reason you couldn’t do the edging one side at a time, it just would be more of a log cabin style than mitered corners.

It’s so adorable! I love it. I am starting to knit a baby blanket, thinking about making the hood as well -what are the measurements of the hoody triangle? Thanks so much.

I really love this cute little hoodie blanket for baby. If I would have baby someday, I”ll try to knit for her/him in the future.

I am not new to knitting- but somewhat new to picking up stitches like this for the edging- been reading about it and it seems there is “pick up” where you just put existing stitches on to the needle, and “pick up and knit” where you loop the new yarn through the edge and around the needle.. Which should be used here?

Also I messed up with yarn weight and made a rectangle so I doubt I’ll be able to knit the edging in a round on the needles I have, has anyone had luck doing the edges each separately and just joining them?

Thanks!!

That sounds like the perfect solution!

Hi!! This has been such a fun pattern! I have a question if you’re still looking at this…. My gage got off somehow, so 100 stitches made 20″ for me, which is fine, except I did the sampler and a 4×4 grid of 4″ squares came to 16 inches of course :) I figure I must have read it wrong, since I have a rectangle instead of a square ^_^ and would have a big rectangle if the side was 26″ like it should have been. Should I just add one more row of 4 inch squares to have a 20X20? Thanks again!!
