Needles
Knitpicks: Mosaic Options Interchangeable Circular Needles
Size 8 with a 24″ or 32″ cord with a gauge of 18 stitches per 4 inches
Knitpicks says it best: Combining Radiant’s bright, bold and warm boisterousness, the sea-inspired colors of Caspian’s oceanic hues, and the luxurious jewel tones of dignified Majestic, Mosaic gives you the usual strong and smooth layers of laminated birch in every color you could want. And the distinct sequence of colors will make finding the right needle size easier than ever.

I ordered these wonderful labels to include with my handknit blanket. Especially these days it is important that children’s supplies at daycare are labelled and kept separate from others. These wash and dry and never fall off!
Pattern Notes
The Three Wishes Baby Blanket Knitting Pattern is a simple and modern basket weave baby blanket knitting pattern.
First I chose three wishes that I wish for the new baby. In this case the wishes were for
* peace * understanding * healing *
Pick 3 colors of worsted or aran weight yarn.
Using a size 8 needle the blanket begins with a garter stitch border. After the border, the color is cut and a new color joined in.
The front side of the blanket is knit while the back is knit and purled.
After 14 rows the yarn is cut and the third color is joined.
Remember that there is a 5 stitch knit border at the beginning and end of every row.
The pattern is clearly written and simple to understand.
Skills Needed:
Knit
