Size
Approximately 17” x 24” (the size is a personal preference and can be adjusted–see below).
Note
To make this blanket/wrap larger, cast on a larger number of stitches to make the blanket wider. It will have to be an odd number of stitches for the pattern to work out correctly. Then, continue working the pattern until it is the desired length.
Gauge
Approximately 2.25 sts/inch in Lace Pattern.

Row 1: Knit each stitch across.
Row 2: K1, *YO, K2tog; repeat from * across. (This is considered the “lace pattern,” and should be worked in this way throughout the pattern.)

Note: The length is a personal preference. If you’d like your Lacy Baby Wrap to be longer, work more rows. If you’d like it shorter, work until the blanket/wrap is the desired length.
