along is made up of 10 sections,
each featuring a different pattern
from 10 knitwear designers.
The centre panel is made up
of two square pieces and four
rectangular sections, and this is
flanked by two narrower panels
on each side. After the 10
sections are completed, they are
joined together using a three-
needle cast-off, and an edging is
worked along the two long edges
of the blanket. Unless otherwise
indicated, slip all sts p-wise.This section is worked flat, but we
recommend a circular needle to
accommodate the number of sts.
After slipping the first st of each
row wyif, move yarn to the back
between the needles.Stitch patterns
