Little Diamonds Baby Blanket Knitting Pattern

 


PDF Pattern for this blanket is available from my Messy Yarn Patterns Etsy Shop

Tension/Gauge: Stocking Stitch tension

10cm/4 inches = 25st

10cm/4 inches = 23 rows

Size: Width: approximately 70cm (27.5 in); Length: approximately 95cm (36.5 in)

Materials:

3.5mm (US4) circular needles

The blanket weight is 275gr for which I used 300 (6 x 50gr balls) cotton yarn

Each 50g ball was approximately 160m

Stitch abbreviations

P = Purl

K = Knit

yo = yarn over

SSK = Slip, slip, knit. This is a left-leaning decrease. If you are more used to SKP (slip, knit, pass the slipped stitch over), just substitute the SSK with the SKP. The effect will be the same.

sts = stitches

Adjusting the size of the blanket

If you want to knit a larger size, add 12 stitches for each extra pattern repeat. Remember to increase the repeat count on every row accordingly. For example, if you add one extra pattern repeat, increase a repeat count of 14 to 15.


The Pattern starts from here

Cast on 200 sts on circular needles 3.5mm (US4).

Row 1 to row 18: Purl all sts

Row 19 (RS): p9, k182, p9.

Row 20: Purl all sts.

Row 21: p9; k1; [k2; ssk; yo; k8]. Repeat another 14 times from [to] k1; p9.

Row 22: Purl all sts, including the increases.

Row 23: p9; k1; [k1; ssk; yo; ssk; yo; k7]. Repeat another 14 times from [ to ] k1; p9.

Row 24: Purl all sts, including the increases.

Row 25: p9; k1; [k2; ssk; yo; k8]. Repeat another 14 times from [ to ] k1; P9.

Row 26: Purl all sts, including the increases.

Row 27: p9; k 182; p9.

Row 28: Purl all sts.

Row 29: p9; k1; [k8; ssk; yo; k2]. Repeat another 14 times from [ to ], k1; p9.

Row 30: Purl all sts.

Row 31: p9; k1; [k7; ssk; yo; ssk; yo; k1]. Repeat another 14 times from [ to ] k1; p9.

Row 32: Purl all sts.

Row 33: p9; k1;[k8; ssk; yo; k2]. Repeat another 14 times from [to] k1; p9.

Row 34: Purl all sts.

Row 35: p9; k182; p9.

Row 36: Purl all sts.

Repeat Row 23 to Row 36 another twenty times. This is the end of the main body part.

To complete the blanket, purl 18 rows.

Wave in the ends. Wash gently and dry flat. With this, the blanket is complete.


SSK (Slip, Slip, Knit) – left-leaning decrease

1.    Transfer the first stitch knitwise to the right needle

2.    Transfer the second stitch knitwise to the right needle

3.    Move them both back to the left needle

4.    Insert the right needle through both stitches from the back of the left, then yarn over and knit.

      You will now have a single stitch on the right needle instead of 2.
