I am considering this pattern, http://tlc.howstuffworks.com/home/free-knitting-patterns-for-baby-blankets2.htm.

My question, if I want to slip the first stitch purlwise and knit the last stitch every row, do I need to add 2 stitches. Since I am a beginner, I am hoping I can do this pattern. Unless someone has an easier one-stranded pattern.

Thanks!

your link does not work for the pattern. Does the pattern have a name?

 

[m.r.b.]

This link does not open but you do not have to add any stitches to do that. Just slip the first stitch of your pattern purl wise and knit the last stitch of every row.

I agree with m.r.b. though I have never done it myself. My edges turn out pretty even.

Pretty blanket ... no you don't need to add stitches. Just slip the first stitch but still count it as the first stitch. If the border is 5 stitches wide in garter stitch, slip the first and knit the next 4.

Add an 'l' to the link - as in < html > not < htm >
The link opens OK then - THX for the pretty patt!

Whenever someone passes on a link and the comments are - This won't work; I just add the lower-case 'l' (lower case - L) and that is the solution.

Thanks Yvette, I thought that was how it was done, but wanted to make sure. Not I just have to get the right cable. I only have 24 and the next size is 32. I wonder if the 24 would work.
