Blanket size 50" X 70" and uses 4 kgs of felted wool roving as yarn (see my video on how to felt merino wool roving quick and easy)
Please LIGHTLY Felt your wool roving (if using roving or wool tops) before you begin this project.
INSTRUCTIONS
CAST ON (Mock Long Tail)
Tie a knot loosely and put your arm through the loop, chain 17 stitches
You'll notice one side will look like a braid (plait) and the other side will have dashes up the center.
Chain one more and pull it up at a 90 degree angle, this is your first stitch for the next row, pull your yarn through each dash, creating a loop for each dash.
PATTERN
Slip the first stitch in every row for the entire blanket
Rows 1-3: Knit 3, Purl 3 (repeat these until end when you have one stitch left and ktbl the last stitch)
Rows 4-6: Purl 3, Knit 3 (repeat these until end when you have one stitch left and ktbl the last stitch)
Last stitch in all rows ktbl (knit through the back loop)
Slipping the first stitch on every row and knitting through the back loop for the last stitch creates a nice smooth edge on your blanket.
Happy Arm Knitting,
Stacy
