I found this fast-knitting pattern for free here: http://www.theyarncottagefairhope.com/patterns/4ballblanket.pdf . I'm a sucker for a basketweave.
Here's the closeup of both sides, which are different from each other, but equally attractive, IMO:
Here's the whole blanket. I expanded the dimensions slightly so it would be useful a bit longer.
And here's your prize because I overbought yarn for the project: two skeins of the Cascade Sierra Quatro, color #80!
Go to my website http://www.nancyherkness.com/ and enter my contest there. Just include the word "yarn" in the comments, and I'll know to enter you in the drawing for this fiber. As a bonus, you'll be entered in my regular website contest for the silver heart pendant.
Good luck and Happy 2011!
The blanket looks lovely! I'm sure your niece will love it!
