POMPON BABY BLANKET

You will need :

· 1 x 200grams of contrast shade and 3 x 200grams of
main shade or 3 x 200grams if made in one colour.

· 3.75mm (No. 9UK) knitting needles

Tension

4 pompoms across and 8 deep should give a tension of 10cm x 10cm.  
Knit two stitches between each pompom, holding the pompom between the index and
middle fingers each time.

METHOD

1. Using the two needle method, cast on 58sts and in first shade, knit the first stitch and place the first pompom.

2. Continue in this way, placing pompoms after every odd numbered stitch so at the end of the row, the same thread knits the last stitch of each row and the first of te following row.   There should be 29 pompoms across each row.  

3. Work 10cm.

4. Knit 10 stitches in first shade, 38  stitches in second shade and then 10 stitches in first shade.   Twist the yarns together when changing from one shade to another to prevent holes forming.

5. When work measures 90cm change back to knitting all stitches in first shade.  

6. Work another 10cm.

7.   When work measures 100cm cast off and sew in all ends.
