Pattern Release: Forever Diamonds Baby Blanket

on

A story of this blanket is a simple one: my friend is about to have a baby. 

It is her first baby, and the path to get here (to 7th month of pregnancy) was difficult for my friend. Without details - it was at least 5+ year-process, filled with lots of hope and several disappointments. But... all is behind and she is counting down days now :).

In the design of this blanket I wanted to capture how precious this baby is for my friend and her family, so I used pattern with moss-stitch bordered diamonds. 

Simple but timeless, this blanket has a very elegant feel to it. No fancy techniques - if you can knit and purl - you can do it! The bonus feature: it is reversible.

Introducing:

 Forever Diamonds Baby Blanket

 

Materials
Yarn: DK weight yarn, 250 g
The sample was done in Ketzer Angel Baby (55% nylon, 45% acrylic, 50 g/185 yards, 5 skeins).
Tools: needles, US 3 (3.25 mm)
Finished size: Approx. 34”x 34” (85 x 85 cm)
Gauge: 24 st x 32 rows = 4” x 4” (10 cm x 10 cm)

Notes
  • The blanket has moss stitch borders that flank the diamond pattern used for the main body of the blanket.
  • Choose yarn with a good stitch definition to show off the elegant diamond pattern. Fuzzy or boucle yarns will not be appropriate for this design.
  • Blanket can be made bigger or smaller by adjusting the number of diamond pattern repeats. Same pattern can be used for afghans, scarves, stoles or bedspreads.
