I'm using it for show and tell at the Machine Knitting Guild meeting that I posted about earlier today. Here is a corrected version and I've added instructions on how to make a larger one (lab robe size). It was originally called Lacy Edge Baby Blanket but I changed the name. Seems to be a better description. RIPPLED EDGE BABY BLANKET Materials: two 8oz. skeins Red Heart worsted weight, size 9 circular needles (at least 29"), stitch markers Cast on 130 stitches. Work in stockinette for approx. 28 inches (I usually do this part on the machine and use one 8 oz skein). With right side facing, 1. Pick up one st in corner 2. Place marker on needle 3. Pick up 144 sts along one side of blanket 4. Place marker on needle Repeat 1-4 three more times. Last marker should be different from others - this marks the beginning of each round. Rnd 1: Join work on first stitch. P all sts. There will always be 144 sts on each side between markers. Number of sts in corners will change as noted in pattern.
