THE ENTIRE PATTERN (written and charted) IS BELOW.

WARNING!!!

If you’re using stitch markers to separate repeats of the pattern, BEWARE! During rows 1 to 6, you’ll have the same amount of sts outside repeats at each side, but in the 7th row that amount changes. For instance, for the individual square you have 3 sts before repeats and 4 sts after. But in the 7th row, you have 2 before the first repeat and 5 after the last one. Maybe you should remove markers while knitting the 6th row?

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INDIVIDUAL SQUARES

– CO 65 sts with US 6 (4 mm) needles.

– With US 4 (3,5 mm) needles, knit 6 rows.

– Continue working as follows:

5 garter sts, LACE PATTERN N°2 over 55 sts, 5 garter sts.

Work 11 times the LACE PATTERN N°2 complete and then rows 1) to 5) again.

– Knit 6 rows.

– Bind off with US 6 (4 mm) needle. Cut yarn and weave in ends.

– Block your square to its final measures.

LACE PATTERN N°2 – Written Instructions

• Over 6 sts and 8 rows. I added 7 more st to center the motif and complete an internal space of 55 sts.
  .
• Repeat instructions between brackets as many times as needed. For this block, make them a total of 8 times.

Row 1) (RS) k1, k2tog, yo, [k1, yo, skp, k1, k2tog, yo], k1, yo, skp, k1

Row 2) p all sts

Row 3) k2tog, yo, k1, [k2, yo, sk2p, yo, k1], k2, yo, skp

Row 4) p all sts

Row 5) k1, yo, skp, [k1, k2tog, yo, k1, yo, skp], k1, k2tog, yo, k1

Row 6) p all sts

Row 7) k2, yo, [sk2p, yo, k3, yo], sk2p, yo, k2

Row 8) p all sts

LACE PATTERN N° 2 – Chart

• Read all odd rows from right to left, and all even rows from left to right.
• Repeat the grey painted part as many times as the pattern calls for (8 times horizontally in the case of this block).

INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE THE BLANKET SEAMLESS

• Work back and forth on circular needles to accommodate all stitches.
• The following instructions will guide you to make a blanket with 8 rows in garter stitch at the bottom and top ends, and 6 garter stitches at each lateral edge. Feel free to change it to your liking!
• If you decide to use the provisional cast-on method to add a knitted border after finishing the blanket, cast on 195 sts instead of 200, and proceed to the first lace pattern directly.

AFTER knitting lace pattern N°1 and the garter st rows (or one of the lace patterns separators I shared for the seamless version of this KAL), you’ll have 195 sts again in your needle.

Continue working as follows:

6 garter sts, LACE PATTERN N°2 over 183 sts, 6 garter sts

After knitting the Lace Pattern for 4’’ (10 cm), ending with a WS row, work 4 rows
in garter stitch, increasing 5 sts evenly in the first row (you end up with 200 sts)
and decreasing 5 sts evenly in the last row (you end up with 195 sts again).

I calculated the final length for the seamless blanket assuming that each lace pattern is to be knitted for approx. 4’’ (10 cm), with 4 rows of garter stitch in between lace patterns.

LACE PATTERN N°2 – Written Instructions, seamless version

• Over 6 sts and 8 rows. I added 3 more sts to complete an internal space of 183 sts.
• Repeat instructions between brackets as many times as needed. For this block, make them a total of 30 times.

Row 1) (RS) k2tog, yo, [k1, yo, skp, k1, k2tog, yo], k1

Row 2) p all sts

Row 3) k2, [k2, yo, sk2p, yo, k1], k1

Row 4) p all sts

Row 5) yo, skp, [k1, k2tog, yo, k1, yo, skp], k1

Row 6) p all sts

Row 7) k1, yo, [sk2p, yo, k3, yo], skp

Row 8) p all sts

LACE PATTERN N° 2 – Chart, seamless version

• Read all odd rows from right to left, and all even rows from left to right.
• Repeat the grey painted part as many times as the pattern calls for
  (30 times horizontally in the case of this section).
