Entrelac Color Burst Baby Blanket

March 27, 2012 by Danielle Leave a Comment

Entrelac Color Burst Baby Blanket

by Danielle Romanetti

This is our newest free pattern, just in time for spring baby knitting. The purple squares are worked with a textured lumpy and bumpy yarn to give baby something fun to feel while snuggling under their blanket. By using Miss Babs Yowza and it’s huge yardage, here are very few ends to weave in.

Materials

  • Main yarn: 2 skeins Miss Babs Yowza held double or 1,000 yards of other worsted weight yarn or 500 yards chunky weight yarn
  • Contrasting yarn: 1 skein Neighborhood Fiber Co Beltway Bulky
  • US#10 (6 mm) circular needles 24″ or longer

Gauge

14 sts / 4″ / stockinette stitch

 

Measurements

24″ x 36″

Instructions

Work base triangles. **Work left side triangle, tier one rectangles, right side triangle and tier two rectangles. Continue to repeat from ** two more times. Then work left side triangle, tier one rectangles, right side triangle and final triangles. Be sure to choose one, three or five squares and triangles to work in the contrasting yarn. Have fun and be random!
