Lets take a break from strips for a bit and work on some of the “cute” stuff…although they might reveal a bit more about our little blanket.
Using color green, cast on 10 stitches. Do not join, work in garter stitch for 34 rows.
Row 35: Kfb across the row (20 sts)
place marker and join to work in the round. Arrange stitches on double points or two circulars. Using white/cream yarn:
Knit 1 row
Purl 5 rows
Next row: (k2tog, k8) twice
Purl 4 rows
Next row: (K2tog, k7) twice
Purl 4 rows
(k2tog, k2) 4 times
Purl 3 rows
Knit one round
K2tog around
break yarn and draw it through the remaining 6 sts
UPDATE: since some of you are rockin on this, I will post the more detailed and revealing part of this little guy. At this point, you should stuff what you have above with filling and insert a small rattle (or bell) inside. Then…
Tie the green portion into a knot…photo in a few days but I will give a prize to the first person who tells me what it is!
