Valley Yarns Pattern Feature – The Welcome Home Blanket
A fresh and modern interpretation, the Welcome Home Blanket knits up quick with Valley Superwash Bulky to make a soft and machine washable heirloom in your favorite colors.
Perfect for a warming up a new house, welcoming family back, or bringing new family members home, the Welcome Home Blanket can be knit in different sizes for any occasion. Cheery, unisex colors and the classic feather and fan stitch pattern just feel like home. (HINT: Newborns, graduations, consolations or house warmings)

I have spend several evenings on this pattern, and I end up with extra stitches after knitting row 4. After knitting YO 6 times, you add stitches. Where are these extra stitches ‘used up’? What am I doing wrong? Help.
Thanks,

Hi Wilma,
Row 4 reads:
Row 4: K1, *[k2tog] 3 times, [yo, k1] 6 times, [k2tog] 3 times; rep from * to last st, k1.
So each repeat contains 6 increases ([yo, k1] 6 times) and 6 decreases ([k2tog] 3 times + [k2tog] 3 times). So each 18 stitch repeat should remain 18 sts.
If you’re ending up with too many stitches at the end of the row, I recommend looking back through the row and ensuring you’ve made the correct number of increases and decreases throughout, perhaps even putting a stitch marker between each repeat.
Hope this helps!

Hi Sara – I am having the same problem as Wilma. I have undone and redone the 4th row 4 times now so I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Please help 🙂
