The chart
Row 1 is at the bottom of the chart and row 66 is at the top. Each square represents one stitch. Read odd-numbered rows from right to left and even-numbered rows from left to right.
Making the blanket
- Cast on 27 stitches in the colour shown on row 1.
- Work through the chart from bottom to top, up to row 66.
- At each colour change, cross the yarns on the reverse to avoid gaps.
- Keep an even tension and check the width of the blanket regularly.
- After row 66, cast off loosely and weave in the ends.
Fil de Miel tip
The amount of yarn required varies with your tension and chosen dimensions. Keep one extra ball on hand so you can finish the pattern comfortably.
