Materials Needed

• Yarn: Soft DK weight yarn in pastel pink, white, and mint green
• Needles: US 6 (4mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 22 stitches and 30 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 120 stitches using the pastel pink yarn. Make sure your stitches are not too tight to ensure a comfortable edge.
2. Create the Border: Work in garter stitch (knit every row) for 10 rows. This will form a lovely border around your blanket.
3. Switch to Stockinette Stitch: After completing the border, switch to stockinette stitch. This means you will knit one row and then purl the next row. Continue this pattern for the rest of the blanket.
4. Begin Bunny Motif Pattern:
   • Rows 1-10: Knit all stitches in pastel pink yarn.
   • Rows 11-20: Introduce the white yarn. Follow the chart for the bunny motif, alternating colors as indicated. Ensure to maintain even tension while switching colors.
   • Rows 21-30: Switch to mint green yarn and knit all stitches.
5. Repeat Pattern: Continue repeating rows 11-30 until the blanket measures approximately 36 inches in length. Keep checking your measurements to ensure consistency.
6. Finish with a Border: Once you reach the desired length, finish with 10 rows of garter stitch in pastel pink to match the top border.
7. Bind Off: Finally, bind off all stitches loosely to maintain the elasticity of the edge. This will help your blanket retain its shape.
