Lucas Like Fibonacci

Many crafters are familiar with Fibonacci Numbers, but have you tried working with Lucas Numbers? This enchanting baby blanket pattern showcases the unique benefits of using Lucas Numbers, making it an ideal choice for any crafting project. Not only do these numbers create beautiful patterns, but they also offer a fresh aesthetic for your knitting endeavors.

The finished blanket measures 76 cm (30”) by 90 cm (36”), making it a perfect size for snuggling infants or using as a decorative throw. Each square measures 15 cm (6”), allowing for easy customization; you can expand the size of the blanket in convenient 6-inch increments to suit your needs or the preferences of the little ones in your life.

To create this charming blanket, you will need 150 meters of yarn in each of the six colors of DK yarn you choose. The blanket is crafted in one continuous piece using a technique called mitred squares. This method ensures that stitches are picked up from previously knitted squares, resulting in seamless and clean lines. Rest assured, you will never have more than 56 stitches on your needle at any time, except at the edging where you'll require a small amount of contrast yarn and possibly a longer needle for ease of handling.

The pattern provides clear instructions on how to calculate the amount of yarn needed for a larger blanket or when working with alternative yarn types. Additionally, you'll find several design variations included in the pattern, along with instructions for creating a different version using a larger 10-inch square. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, this pattern is designed to inspire creativity and cater to your crafting preferences.
