Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight, 100% cotton
• Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 120 stitches using your US 8 (5mm) knitting needles. Make sure your stitches are not too tight; you want them to be comfortable for the border.
2. Create the Border: Work in garter stitch for 10 rows. To do this, knit every row. This will create a nice, sturdy border around your blanket.
3. Start the Pattern: Now, you will begin the floral motif pattern. Follow these rows carefully:
4. Row 1 (Right Side): K5 (this is your border), *K10, P2; repeat from * to the last 5 stitches, K5 (border).
5. Row 2 (Wrong Side): K5 (border), *P10, K2; repeat from * to the last 5 stitches, K5 (border).
6. Row 3: K5 (border), *K2, P8, K2; repeat from * to the last 5 stitches, K5 (border).
7. Row 4: K5 (border), *P2, K8, P2; repeat from * to the last 5 stitches, K5 (border).
8. Row 5: K5 (border), *K10, P2; repeat from * to the last 5 stitches, K5 (border).
9. Row 6: K5 (border), *P10, K2; repeat from * to the last 5 stitches, K5 (border).
10. Repeat Rows: Continue repeating Rows 1-6 until your blanket measures 36 inches from the cast-on edge. This will create the beautiful floral design that makes this blanket special.
11. Finish the Blanket: Once you reach the desired length, work in garter stitch for an additional 10 rows to finish the border. This will match the initial border you created.
12. Bind Off: Finally, bind off all stitches loosely to ensure the edge is not too tight.
13. Weave in Ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends from your yarn. This step is crucial for a neat finish.

Your Uniflower Petal Knit Baby Blanket is now complete! Enjoy the cozy warmth and beautiful floral design that will surely brighten up any nursery.
