    2. Each pattern repeat is 12 stitches equaling about 2", so to increase your blanket another 8" means that you should add 48 stitches.

    1. kfb is knit front and back loops of the stitch which provides 1 increased stitch.

    2. Also, whenever you find a stitch abbreviation that you don't recognize, go to YouTube and you can usually find a video demonstrating that stitch. Here are a selection of videos for the kfb:

    3. Yes, but most knitting patterns include a list of abbreviations to make it easier for knitters to follow their directions. Abbreviation charts greatly appreciated by us beginning knitters!
