A blanket inspired by the stained glass windows of York Minster, with three size options. Featuring four jewel coloured shades of Dovestone DK contrasted with dark grey borders in Coal. Constructed from garter stitch squares that are easy to make, requiring only knit stitches and simple increases and decreases: this a perfect project for beginners.

Sizes small (medium, large) are 68x79 (90x112, 112x134)cm / 27x31 (35.5x44, 44x53)“.

The blanket shown uses 1 skein each of 5 colours of Dovestone DK: Coal, Rhubarb, Chevin, Lotherton and Parkin. There is very little left over, so if you want to make this size using only 1 skein of each colour make sure you knit exactly to tension (you can use your tension square as one of the blanket squares!).

For a small (medium, large) blanket you will need 1 (2, 3) skeins of Dovestone DK in each of 5 colours/ 320m (640m, 1280m) of DK weight yarn.

You will also need a 4mm/US 8 circular needle, minimum 80cm/32” length (you can knit the squares on straight needles if you prefer, but a circular needle is required for the border).
