Baby Blanket: Honey

For this blanket I went through my huge and varied boxes of yarn and pulled out yellow, neutral, and white tones.  I ended up paring together six yarns: three Red Heart SuperSaver (white, yellow and buttercup) and three Lion Brand Homespun (cream, rococo, and a yellow white dapple that I don't know the name for).

The picture below is of the blanket folded in half and being held by a helpful hand.  As you can see the width of the stripes varied depending on my mood and it is done entirely in seed/moss stitch (k1, p1, each row opposite).  The order of the colors changed as well but i think the piece has a nice balance and charm.

Needles: 9 US
CO 105 st
Row 1: *k1, p1* repeat to end
Row 2: *k1, p1* repeat to end
Change colors at will and bind off when desired length is reached.  Remember that you want to stay on odd numbers so that you don't accidentally slip into a rib pattern rather than a seed stitch.
