Zig and Zig Sock Yarn pram blanket

By Debbie Orr

My sister’s brand new baby was


imminent and I wanted to design a
baby blanket that would be
interesting to knit, use up my sock
yarn scraps and look great for either
a baby boy or girl when it was
finished. You could use a more
limited palette or wider stripes for a
variation on the pattern.

Needles: 4.5mm US size 7 circular


needle
Yarns: I used a selection of sock weight
yarn including Skein Queen, Posh Yarn,
Koigu, Socks That Rock, Hipknits and Sunshine Yarns in merino, cashmere/silk, handspun
cashmere and BFL

I only used a very small amount of each, enough for four rows, though you will need a larger
quantity of the colour which forms the border and is knitted in garter stitch.

Choose your border colour and wind off a good handful of it into a separate ball. This will be used
for your left-hand border.

Cast on 127 stitches.


K 6 rows (garter stitch) in border colour.
Continue in same colour for next four rows:

Pattern row 1: K5 *KFB, K4, sl1 knitwise K2 tog psso, K4, KFB* repeat nine times to last 5 sts;K5
Pattern row 2: K5, P117, K5
Pattern row 3: As row 1
Pattern row 4: As row 2

Knit first 5 stitches in border colour, change colour, incorporating one end of the new colour into
the first four or five stitches of the work whilst maintaining pattern. Knit the last 5 stitches of the
row using the small ball of border colour.

After knitting the four rows of pattern, switch to another colour if desired, remembering to knit the
first and last five stitches in border colour.

Knit to desired length. I used 42 repeats of the 4-row


pattern.

Make last 4-row pattern in border colour.


Knit 6 rows.
Cast off and sew in ends. Enjoy!

Abbreviations:
KFB - Knit a stitch, leaving stitch on left needle; knit into
the back loop of this stitch
Sl 1 - Slip a stitch knitwise
PSSO - pass slipped stitch over
