Over Christmas I started a blanket for Rachel’s daughter Paige. I decided that since I would be making a blanket for their newest addition, Caleb, and had already made one for Layla 4 years ago, I didn’t want Paige to be left out!
This pattern is all purl stitches. Each row you decrease a number of stitches by purling two stitches together and then increase by that same number of stitches by doing a yarn over, the result is this gorgeous twisted lacy pattern. Perfect for a little girl! I am knitting 3 different yarns together once, all are delicate & very soft: one is a pink variegated yarn that I have used before in my baby blankets (it comes in this huge skein, about 600 yards, and I can usually get at least 2 blankets out of it), the next is a light pink & white yarn, and lastly a super soft white one.

So far it’s about 2 feet long, I want to take it out when I visit at the end of March which means I need to get cracking (I keep getting sidetracked though with other projects) :)
Paige is so excited. She can not wait to see it.
