Picture Perfect Blanket

If you're an intermediate knitter or an adventurous beginner looking for a fun and rewarding project, the Picture Perfect Blanket pattern is just for you! This beautiful square blanket features a charming border edging that resembles a classic picture frame, making it a lovely addition to any home. The unique diagonal construction involves increasing stitches from one corner and then decreasing them down to the opposite corner, resulting in a stunning visual effect. The pattern is highly adaptable, allowing you to customize the size to perfectly fit your needs.

What You'll Need: To create the Picture Perfect Blanket, you'll need Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran yarn, which boasts a luxurious blend of 55% Wool, 33% Acrylic, and 12% Cashmere. Each ball contains 90m/98yds per 50g, perfect for this cozy project. The blanket you see in the photos is made in the vibrant Mustard color, making it a stylish choice for any decor. You will also need 5mm/US 8 circular knitting needles, ideally at least 80cm long, along with a tapestry needle and scissors for finishing touches.

This versatile pattern is adaptable for any size, allowing you to create a baby blanket, lap throw, or even a full-sized blanket, depending on your preference. For reference, I used 400g of Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran yarn to create my finished blanket, which measures an impressive 35” x 35”/90cm x 90cm once blocked and laid flat. Embrace the opportunity to make a personal and unique piece that can serve as a thoughtful gift or a cherished keepsake for yourself.
