Linda's Diagonal Striped Baby Blanket

As baby blankets go, this was pretty fast and very easy. It starts with a ch-3 circle, and increases one stitch on each end every row, with a ch-3 loop to the next row. Once the blanket is half the desired size, decrease one stitch on each end every row with a ch-2 loop to the next row. I finished it with a single-crochet border.

Some of this yarn was graciously donated to the cause via the Yarn Shop in Overland Park, and I got a bit more of the same yarn at Micheals.

Materials

Bernat Baby Coordinates yarn
- 1 skein white
- 1 skein pink
- 1 skein blue
- 1 skein pale yellow

Size I crochet hook

Donation from The Yarn Shop in OPKS

Thanks to the Yarn Shop in Overland Park, KS (http://www.yarnshopandmore.com/) for their kind donation, we have some fun and interesting yarn to knit up!




The blues and pinks are baby yarn. The big one says it's enough for a baby blanket. The ribbon has a suede feel. The colorful batch is mostly fun fur.
