Type of item: Functional
For: Children
Style: Traditional, Classic
Materials
Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sport, superwash wool color Layette.
What was your inspiration?
This predominantly solid-fabric blanket is great for those who want a bit of impressive lace, yet are concerned about holes in which baby could get their fingers caught.
What are you most proud of?
I used a softly variegated yarn to play up the zigzag movement in the bias lace pattern along the edges, offset by the diagonally-knitted center. Of course, the blanket would be equally lovely in a solid color if you prefer a more classic, less casual look.
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
This blanket starts with just a bit of lacy pattern knitted circularly to dress up the outer edges of this utilitarian beauty. Then the center is knitted back and forth in garter stitch on the diagonal, forming a square to fill in the center of the baby blanket while attaching itself to the edging at the same time. No seams to sew!
