Spud's Stroller Blanket

Spud's Blanket

 A blanket for Spud!  This really fun, soft, cozy blanket will keep baby quite warm on the those fall/winter strolls around the block or at the farmer's market.  I chose Spud and Chloe...well, because the colors remind me of the rhyme, "Little Boy Blue", wearing a "Flannel" shirt and  "Bayou" jeans plays in the "SANDbox" in the big red "Sequoia" barn.  The sheep is in the meadow "Hedge", and the cow is in the "CORNsilk".....so goes the story!

MATERIALS

6 skeins of Spud & Chloe's Outer, 65% superwash wool & 35% organic cotton
FLANNEL, BAYOU, SANDBOX, SEQUOIA, HEDGE, CORNSILK
24 inch, US # 13 circular needle

THE PATTERN

CO 53

Knit 4 RIDGES in each color twice!!  Be careful to always start the new color on the right side!!!

Bind off....weave in the ends!!!
