Little Willow - Box Stitch Baby Blanket

This stitch makes a lovely reversible baby blanket. 

You may know it as double Moss Stitch or Double Seed Stitch

It is very easy to knit - and gives a lovely result!  

The fabric can be a little stiff - so I knitted my blanket on 4.5mm needles, to allow a looser, softer feel.

Requirements ~

DK (8ply) yarn

4.5mm needles

 

Tension ~

20sts = 4” (10cm)

 

Measurements ~

Width:        16", 20”, 24” or 28”

Length:      adjustable ......... I usually make blankets a little longer than their width
