Lauren's Blanket
Yarn used in this sample: CoopKnits DK. This versatile DK weight yarn is perfect for achieving beautiful stitch definition and a cozy feel.
Lauren's blanket pattern begins with a provisional cast on to facilitate the addition of an elegant lace edging. However, if you prefer, starting without the lace is entirely feasible and still yields stunning results. For those who wish to keep it simple, a classic garter stitch edge can be knitted concurrently with the main section, providing an alternative to the lace edging. Complete instructions for both options are available within the pattern.
When considering materials, you'll need approximately 320m for a plain edge or 700m for a lace edge for the smallest size (90x130 cm), scaling up to 3500m for larger sizes (134x200 cm). You will work with DK weight yarn and 3.75mm needles, ensuring both comfort and durability in your project.
Size details: The finished blanket without lace edging measures approximately 47x53 cm for the smallest size, progressing to 134x200 cm for the largest. If you choose to add the lace edging, expect to increase the dimensions by an additional 10 cm on all sides, enhancing the overall design and providing lovely visual interest.
