Sommernat

Sommernat is the enchanting Danish word for “summer night,” and it perfectly captures the essence of this beautiful square baby blanket or lap blanket. The Sommernat pattern features a wide lace edge, adding a touch of elegance and charm to its cozy design.

This knitting pattern provides detailed directions for creating a single size, measuring 105 x 105 centimeters after blocking, making it an ideal project for both beginners and experienced knitters. The center of the blanket is worked back and forth, while the exquisite lace edge is knitted in the round, allowing you to master versatile knitting techniques.

Designed for knitters familiar with written instructions as well as lace charts, the pattern combines both formats for comprehensive guidance. You will feel empowered to navigate increases and decreases, resulting in a stunning finished piece that showcases your knitting skills.
