BABY BLANKET
Materials required: SUSAN BATES® or MARCIA LYNN® Crochet Hook F or 5 Lightweight Sport Yarn 8 oz. 3-inch hairpin lace loom
GAUGE: 5 s c to 1 inch.
NOTE: Yarn is worked double throughout. Each loop has two strands of yarn which will be referred to as a SINGLE LOOP.
Make 14 strips of 120 SINGLE LOOPS on each side of loom. Join SINGLE LOOPS by pulling 2 SINGLE LOOPS through 2 SINGLE LOOPS always starting at same end and working from right side. Fasten last 2 SINGLE LOOPS securely. Finish sides by pulling 2 SINGLE LOOPS through 2 SINGLE LOOPS. Weave in all ends.
EDGING—Make a strip of hairpin lace long enough to go around all four sides of blanket allowing a little extra for fullness at corners. It is better to have too much as it can be pulled out. Finish one side of this strip by pulling 2 SINGLE LOOPS through 2 SINGLE LOOPS. This side will be sewed to the edge of the blanket. Leave SINGLE LOOPS on the other side loose to form fringe. This may be cut if desired.
