PATTERN INFORMATION
The Candy Stripes Burp Cloth is worked flat and features a two-color skinny striped Stockinette Stitch pattern. A row of petite bobbles is worked on Row 1 along the cast-on edge. The bobbles are a little less than 2.5 cm / 1” apart and are knit in the lighter of the two colors. The stripes are only one stitch wide and the right and left edges of the burp cloth have a single stitch Garter Stitch edge.
This pattern shows the burp cloth in two different color combinations. However, there is enough yarn yardage in one color combination to make two matching burp cloths.
This pattern complements the Candy Stripes Blanket pattern. Note that the gauge, needle size, and yarn recommended are different from this pattern.
