Ravelry Project Page - Homespun Diagonal Square BlanketWhat happens if you take 4 skeins of Homespun yarn, size 13 circular needles, and you start knitting the Diagonal Garter-Stitch Square?
Not a bad blanket!! The end result was a blanket that is stretchy but light approximately 45" square.
It's nothing new or unique but here's what I did:Supplies:
4 skeins Lion Brand Homespun
Size 13 circular needles.
Cast on 4 stitchs.
Row 1: Knit
Increase Row: Knit 2, yarn over, knit remaining stitches.
Repeat increase row until you have used 2 skeins of the Homespun (I left a little just to make sure I had enough.
Decrease Row: Knit 1, knit 2 together, yarn over, knit 2 together, knit remaining stitches.
Repeat decrease row until you have 5 stitches left on needle then, knit 2, knit 2 together, knit 1.
Bind off.
This pattern produces a knit 2 lace border. On my next blanket I'm going to adjust the pattern for at least a knit 3 boarder (maybe knit 4) I think I'll like a bigger border. I'll let you know.
