wool soaker support needed!

[Perogi]

I am a very novice knitter and would love, love, love to knit soakers for my little girl for the summer. I have already purchased the yarn and everything! I have gotten some patterns off the net but I would love a recommendation for the easiest pattern that I would be most likely to have success with. What is the difficulty level of soaker knitting? Will I need to call in reinforcements (Grandma - but she won't be here until mid-June!)? I have knit a pretty fancy baby blanket and know most of the stiches but I've never had to join anything together....

Jenny's soaker pattern - http://mywebpages.comcast.net/kfegel...r_pattern.html

You can do this one! I taught myself to knit about a month ago from a book and I am on my second one of these. This time I added ribbing and I am going to change the increases/decreases just to play a little. The only "problem" with this pattern is there is no gauge or needle size listed. I find that I am a tight knitter, and using size 4 needles and Fisherman's yarn, this pattern makes the perfect small/newborn soaker. With bigger needles and thiker yarn, of course it will be bigger. To make it even bigger,just ad rows and stitches. Simple!

Seriously, this is a piece of cake for a VERY novice knitter like myself, so I know you can do it too!

Good luck!
