My mum loves knitting baby blankets and I decided to share with you some of the stitches she is using. I will try to also write the patterns for a full blanket and will share on a later date.
The Diamond Lace
The pictured blanket is knitted from pure cotton yarn but I am sure it will be lovely and soft knitted with soft Alpaca wool or Merino.
Needles 4mm [US 6]
A nice knitting needles conversion chart can be seen here.
The Pattern
The pattern is knitted in multiple of 14 sts plus 3 at the end.
Row 1 (RS) K1, yo, *k3tog, yo, k9, yo, ssk, yo. Now repeat from * to last 2 sts, then k2tog. The pictured blanket has 9 diamonds. If you decide to make one like it, repeat 9 times in total.
