Realization

With 5mm needles, cast on 120 stitches with Col 1.

Knit in garter stitch, slipping each first stitch with the yarn in front, as if purling it.

Knit 60 rows. Join Col 2, knit 60 rows and continue with Col 3, 4 then 5.

Fold down loosely.

Sew the label a few centimeters from the start on the left side.

Finishes

Block the blanket by soaking it for around twenty minutes in a wool cleaning solution (Eucalan type). Gently squeeze in a towel to remove excess water and lay flat to dry. Tuck in all the wires.
