It’s KAL time! As you’ll have realised if you are taking part, this is a MYSTERY KAL. This means that Yvonne, who designed our baby blanket is not showing us what the finished item will look like, only revealing it gradually, week-by-week as each section of the pattern is released. Before I post her next set of instructions, here’s where we are up to before Week 3’s knitting starts. This is L’s pink blanket so far……
…and R’s which combines a pink border with a pink and white yarn for the Week 2 pattern. The colours go beautifully.
Here is mine, which has a white border.
The Week 2 pattern was not without its challenges. One wrong stitch threw the rest of the row out and I had to start this bit again. Yvonne has been a little more lenient with us this week!
Week 3 Instructions
Yvonne writes, “Hi All. Week 3 already. I can’t believe it! Hope everyone managed to sort out the mishaps from last week but we are having an easier one this week.”
So here we go, remembering that the first and last 8 sts are in garter stitch.
Row 1, K to end.
Row 2, P1, K1, repeat to end.
These 2 rows form this week’s pattern so repeat rows 1 and 2 until 10 rows have been done in total.
“Until next week, happy knitting.”
This is mine in close up. I hope it shows clearly enough what Week 3’s design looks like. As I’ve mentioned previously, mine has a white garter stitch border. I’ve decided to alternate white and coloured sections for the body of the blanket. What colour next week I wonder?
I’d love to hear about your progress on the KAL… with photos if possible. Did you run into any problems with Week 2? Are you using a contrasting border? One colour or stripes?
Good luck with Week 3. The next instalment will be posted next week.
