Hey folks, time for the 11th knit-along in my baby blanket series! This time we’re doing this oh-so-pretty stitch pattern called Eyelet Crescents. No, they’re not cables, just some clever placement of decrease stitches. I love how knitting can make so man shapes with just a few basic stitches! This blanket square, and the next square that I’ll share, are the closest thing to open work we’ll get in this project.

You’ll be using your third lightest shade (colour 3, or light brown) for this blanket block. It uses stocking stitch, yarnovers, and left-leaning decreases. I have put them in as slip, slip, knit (ssk) but you can also do slip 1, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over (sl1, k1, psso) if you prefer.
