Knit-a-Long Baby Blanket: Week 11

Before the next set of KAL instructions, here’s a round up of our efforts with the Week 10 arrowheads pattern. Yvonne’s prototype version is in blue below.

Next, we have L’s salmon pink….

…A’s fawn…

R’s pink….

…and a close up of my white stripe.

We were all relieved that this pattern was easier than the intarsia in the previous double pattern and pleased it turned out so well – it’s a really effective design.

This week, blanket designer, Yvonne, writes, “Well guys, it’s that time again, ready for the next part. Again, it’s all about the counting but setting up the pattern is easy enough. Just take care from row 5. There are no special abbreviations, nitting,just k and p.

So eyes down and here we go.

Week 11

Row 1. Remember your edges and then k5, p5, to end of row.
Row 2. P5, k5, to end of row.
Row 3 & 4 rep rows 1 & 2.
Row 5. K1, p5, k5, end with p4.
Row 6. K4, p5, k5, to last st p1.
Row 7 & 8 rep rows 5 & 6.
Row 9 & 10 rep rows 1 & 2.

This pattern, if done on a bigger scale, looks like a concertina but unfortunately 10 rows just starts it off.

Have fun and see you all next week.

Happy knitting 
Yvonne

Some of us have already completed this pattern, and R is first to send a photo of hers. It looks great!
