Leafy Baby Blanket

Beautiful lace blanket with seed stitch border. Ideal pattern for advanced beginners to practice lace and different kinds of decreases. Elegant and gender neutral design that works equally well with sold and variegated yarns. Using two strands of a thinner yarn create a beautiful drape without bulk. Matching hat pattern is also available - Leafy Baby Hat.

I've used Hobbii Twister Solid (55% cotton, 45% acrylic, 400m/100g = 437 yd/3.5 oz) – 4 skeins (I used just over 3 for the blanket + a bit for the swatch), used 2 strands at a time. You can use any DK weight yarn in the same fashion, or 1 strand of worsted weight. I recommend using not-too-soft, well-twisted yarn for good stitch definition. Using 2 strands held together creates a more drapery fabric, compared to 1 strand of worsted.
