Versailles Blanket

Introducing our stunning modular blanket inspired by the elegant patterns of black and white marble squares found in the picturesque courtyard of Versailles. This beautiful design allows you to bring a touch of luxury to your home while using your creative flair. We utilized a collection of 12 partial balls of Briar Rose Charity yarn in a range of light and dark colors, but feel free to experiment with just 2 colors or as many as you desire for a personalized touch!

This blanket project began when I sought a relatively simple yet gratifying garter stitch piece to knit. The design features three different shapes of blocks, each small enough to provide a quick and fulfilling knitting experience. Whether you have time for just one block after a long day at work or want to binge-knit on the weekends, each completed block gives you a sense of progress and accomplishment.

The modular blanket is crafted by knitting individual blocks that are later seamed together to create a cohesive and eye-catching blanket. To finish off your masterpiece, a lovely garter stitch border can be added at the end for a polished look.

This versatile project works up quickly in Aran weight yarn for those who prefer a speedy knit, but it can easily adapt to other weights of yarn as well, making it a perfect choice for knitters of all levels. Immerse yourself in the world of knitting with this beautiful modular blanket and let your creativity shine! Perfect for cozy nights in or as a thoughtful handmade gift, this pattern is sure to be a cherished addition to any knitters’ collection.
