DIRECTIONS
CO 124 sts. First 8 rows: seed stitch all rows: (K1, P1) Row 9: continue seed stitch over 6 sts, (K8, P8) 14 times, seed stitch 6 sts Row 10: seed stitch over 6 sts, (P8, K8) 14 times, seed stitch over 6 sts Row 11, 13, 15, 17: same as row 9 Row 12, 14, 16, 18: same as row 10
Then, alternate the basketweave… Row 19: seed stitch over 6 sts, (P8, K8) 14 times, seed stitch over 6 sts Row 20: continue seed stitch over 6 sts, (K8, P8) 14 times, seed stitch 6 sts Row 21, 23, 25, 27: same as row 19 Row 22, 24, 26, 28: same as row 20
start over with row 9.
(I did 170 rows of the basketweave, 188 rows total, for 23,312 stitches)
When the blanket is about the length you want, finish with 8 rows of seed stitch.
Looks really good and was well recieved. I recommend not doing this on a deadline - its crazy boring knitting.

Love this little blanket. So nice of you to give the instructions - every little bit helps! I am in the hospital and a bit of "mindless knitting", as Elizabeth Zimmermann called it, is perfect.
