This cushy square blanket adds traveling lines and a lateral braid to the traditional garter corner-to-corner construction for maximum visual impact and knitter interest. Delineate is a great choice for stylish home decor in a hand-dyed yarn, or work it in your favorite easy-care yarn for a special little one!

Pattern includes full written directions as an alternative to charts in a separate PDF (included with purchase of pattern).

Interested in trying out the construction before committing to a whole blanket? Follow the pattern as written, but work only two repeats of charts B, C, F, and G. This will yield a nice doll-sized blanket (around 16” or 40 cm on each side) when worked in Aran/heavy worsted weight yarn.

PATTERN NOTES
-Weighing your yarn before beginning is recommended to ensure you don’t run out. Start the corner section when you’ve used around 35% of your yarn.
