a simple garter stitch would work fine… I wouldn’t try anyting too complicated b/c it’s mohair and it will be a little difficult to see the stitch definition. Maybe add a pattern by knit… Yo. and then knit again. It could add some interest to the baby blanket. but knitting pattern central has OODLES of patterns… to choose from.
oooh, I like that heart one. How would I translate it? Maybe since it’s a light bulk, I can just do like I would for worsted? The yarn’s not too thick, just a tad fuzzy.
To size it for a bulky weight yarn, I’d check your guage and decide how wide you want the blanket. You may need to do only 3 hearts across to get it the size you want. At 135 stitches across, 4 stitches per inch only adds about 4" - you may be happy with a blanket that is 34" wide. At 3.5 stitches per inch, the blanket is 39" wide.
If you did it only 3 hearts across, you’d be talking about 116 stitches, which is 29" if your guage is 4 st/in, and 33" if your guage is 3.5 st/in.
How we know why all those match classes were useful.
