"Celia's Blankie" pattern

We will be using either "sock weight" or "DK weight" yarn,
whatever you prefer. We will try to do a "yarn swap" with
members of the class so you can have a larger assortment of
colors in your blanket. The teacher will give more information
just before class begins.

Celia's Blankie is the newest pattern from "Cottage Creations"
and is a wonderful and fun to knit blankie. You start with
knitting 1 square, and by picking up stitches, you build your
blankie!

This will be a great class for mastering the skill of picking
up stitches, left decreases and right decreases.

The first 2 classes will be taught on consecutive weeks with
a break before the final class so you will have time to complete
your blankie before the last class where you will learn all
the tricks for a great finished edge!
