Valley Yarns Hydra is a must-knit and relatively easy blanket any
baby or adult would love snuggling under using Southwick, a Pima cotton and
bamboo blend that is silky soft with a fluid drape. The blanket features a double
moss stitch outer hem and eyelet inner borders with a stockinette center that
keeps this project enticing. Hydra is knit flat seamlessly from the bottom up. The
eyelet stitch pattern is charted and written out.
