When you are in nursing school? Surround yourself with people who will have your back and get you through it. If it weren't for and ? I wouldn't have made it through this second term. Onward to our clinical placement! This is intense y'all.

After almost a year, I finally picked up my needles and knit the border to this years ! I kept it short and sweet to make it easy on you (read: make it easy on myself) and not take away from the incredible squares knit by this years makers! The entire project is insanely beautiful and I am so honoured to have been included (thanks to and )!

Let's get to it!

Supplies:

Lion Brand It Feels Like Butta in #108 Dusty Blue

US 7 (4.5mm) knitting needles (I used circular needles with a 32 inch (80cm) cord - but feel free to use a longer cord or attach two cords together)

Top Border

With RS facing up, start at the upper right hand corner of the blanket and pick up and knit 210 sts along the top of the blanket. Because every square is of a different stitch pattern and count, you do not necessarily need to pick up each and every stitch. On average, pick up 70 sts per each of the squares along the top edge of the blanket. Do not join your work as you will be knitting flat, back and forth.

Row 1 - knit to the end of the row.
Rows 2-8 Repeat row 1
Loosely Bind Off

Bottom Border

Repeat as in the top border.

Left Side Border

With RS facing up, start at the upper left hand corner of the blanket and pick up sts along the left side of the blanket. On average, you will pick up 5 sts from the top border, 70 sts for each of the squares and another 5 sts from the bottom border.

Rep rows 1 - 8 as in the Top Border instructions.

Right Side Border

Repeat as in the left side border

And voila!

Well, I've avoided it for a few years but as my full time nursing program begins, it's time to off load some of my yarn. Etsy will be filling up with listings of like colours and brands (I'll try not to shed too many tears as they get bought).

Check back next week because my loss is going to be your gain!
