Notes

• Throughout pattern, slip markers as you come to them.
• Switch to longer circulars when needed.
• This blanket is knit using the magic loop method.
• Some knitters have reported the center portion of the flower puckering up a bit. To avoid this, you may want to knit the "Center Flower" section on smaller needles.

Directions

Cast on 8 sts using the disappearing loop method. Pull the cable through so you have 4 sts on each needle.

Center Flower

Work the following instructions four times on each round. Using the magic loop, I recommend placing a marker to designate where the pattern ends.
