[Nfb-krafters-korner] FW: pattern help please/ Lisa

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

One of our shuddle bus drivers bought a hat and bootie set from me, last year and asked me to make a matching, baby blanket!  I took on the chalange.  I had to do it, I guessed, on the loom, since the rest of the set was done on the loom. I think I got the idea of 2 strips, from Henry's afcan  class.

What a great idea Terry, I had not thought of that.

Make sure you make your strips the same length or you will have trouble, like I did.  Pin the whole blanket together, before starting to sew it together.  You might find every 5 stitches, easier.  When starting, I went over my tail for a few stitches, 5 or more.   Put both cast on edges togetherWhen lining up your stitches.  You want your edges to match.
