NOTES
When knitting in stockinette stitch, all odd rows are knit using the knit stitch and even rows are knit using the purl stitch. 
The first 8 stitches and the last 8 stitches are knit in garter stitch on every row throughout the entirety of the blanket. This will give the blanket the border effect.
