Another baby boy is on the way. The mom to be has selected Pottery Barn bedding in cream and dark brown with a touch of blue. For the blanket I used Lion Brand Baby's First yarn color #099. This is an acrylic cotton blend that feels good on the needles. The pattern is very basic - checkerboard. I used a 6 stitch border on the edges and 6 row border top and bottom in double moss stitch. The checkerboard pattern alternated between stockinette stitch and double moss stitch. I went to the magic world of knitting math to determine the size of the blanket and the size of the squares. I wanted this blanket to be a good size to use in a stroller without a lot of excess fabric to have to tuck in around baby. It is about 28" by 28". Enjoy special new little one!!
