I made 14 of these baby blankets from the pattern on the ball of yarn in many colour combinations. I only need to follow the pattern for the first few rows and then again for the last few. Otherwise it is simple. You just have to remember that every second row you have to increase the stitches on both ends. The alternate rows you always have to pearl that yarn over stitch. Otherwise look at the stitches and you can tell whether to pearl or knit. Each row is opposite of the previous one. I usually can make one blanket in less than a week.

Hi Janice, I never counted the number of stitches on the needle because I just went by the measurement of the side of the finished portion of the afghan. I think it says to work on it until the side measures 36″. That’s how I knew it was time to start decreasing!

Hi Julia, If you have never knitted before, this is not the project to begin on. It is difficult to understand, I know. For the first row, you have already cast on 2 stitches and you want to increase that by 1 stitch. Towards the bottom of the article there is an explanation of how to add a stitch. Basically you knit the first stitch twice, once from the front and once from the back – this yields two stitches and now you have three on the needle. For the second row, yes, you knit one first, then you do the instructions in parentheses twice, giving you 5 stitches.

I don’t understand with the 2nd row do you knit 1 twice before you do yo k1 or just do yo k1 twice thanks

Before beginning the decreases, how many stitches should be on the needle?

tina, if I understand you correctly, don’t worry about the 11th row, it will start decreasing at the 12th row!

Tara, I had the exact same thing happen and it’s because I went further in the middle than I should have. When it says stop at a certain number of inches, you HAVE to stop there because in this design, that is the maximum length of each side. I went too far on one that I did and it turned into a diamond shape. Is that what you are talking about?
