March Blanket Square

KNIT STITCH: ROSE TRELLIS (multiple of 18 sts plus 5)
MB (make bobble) K, k1 tbl twice in next st—4 sts, sl same 4 sts back to LH needle, k2tog twice, lift 2nd st over first st on RH needle.

For the class, we will work a mini-swatch only. So cast on 23 stitches and work 16 rows. Then measure the width and determine how many times to repeat the 18 stitches to make a 6 or 12” swatch.Example, I complete the 16 rows and my swatch measures 3” wide. I want a 12” wide swatch.My formula for determining how many stitches to cast on is as follows: (18 the stitch multiple X 412”=Y x 3”)+5 = 77 stitches to cast on
