"I've been making baby blankets this way since the early '90's. In the early days of the internet, I bragged about it, now every yarn company on the planet seems to have a pattern to do it. For full size blankets, make multiple large squares and sew them together."
Lisa
"How you carry the yarn has nothing to do with the completed size, the gauge determines that, it would appear that your gauge is way off. The gauge is 19 stitches for 4", the cast on is 47 stitches, so the piece should come out around 9.5" and yours is slightly more than half of that. There is a note near the beginning that instructs how to adjust gauge."
Lisa
"I haven't made it because I cast on and by row 3 the pattern is over because there are not enough stitches to complete that row based on the instructions given, you need to have 8 stitches at that point and there are only 6 stitches. The pattern has to increase, but for every increase there is a decrease, therefore you can never have more than 6 stitches on the needle. I'm going to amend the pattern, since I like the look of the two colours and just do a yo increase until my desire length, then do the decrease for the second half to finish it."
Lisa
"This pattern is about 15 years old, so it only stands to reason that some colours or yarns may have been discontinued in that time. Typically in knitting pattern acronyms are not included unless it is a new stitch or relatively new stitch pattern, some beginner patterns do include an explanation of the acronyms, but this is not a beginner pattern it is an easy pattern, so it would be uncommon for them to be included."

Lion Brand Babysoft Yarn is a medium sportweight yarn that's available in both classic pastel colors as well as prints. Pastel Green (shown here) is a great gender-neutral choice that works well for baby blankets, such as this Babysoft Checkers Baby Blanket.

Another popular option is Pastel Print, which is a variegated yarn that truly lives up to its name. Its soft, silky texture is perfect for any babywear. The Pastel Print color is a blend of lavender, periwinkle, sea foam and pale yellow.

It's available at most big-box craft stores at a low price, which makes any large project affordable. It's listed as worsted weight, but I find it lighter than most worsted yarn. I doubled up the yarn on size US 7 needles for my Cabled Sleep Sack and it worked up just like normal worsted weight. Even with two different strands together it still created a lovely random zig-zag pattern as I knit in stockinette.

Since it's a blend of acrylic and nylon, this yarn is durable and can stand up against multiple washings, which is just what you need for baby clothes. I recommend this yarn to knitters of all levels who want to create a variety of beautiful baby clothes that will withstand the test of time.
