DK Yarn & Amounts DK weight: Six 50g balls of Merino 120 DK (100% Merino wool, 120m/131yds per 50g)
DK Metres: 710m.
DK Needles: 4mm.
DK Gauge (tension): 21 stitches and 28 rows to 10cm/4ins square over stocking stitch using 4mm needles.

My design ideas and advice: To me, this blanket evokes feelings of joy, comfort and warmth. The simple square pattern is easy to knit and looks very effective. I always come back to this stitch pattern for blankets. It’s one of my favourites and I love how it looks like the stitches are flowing in and out of each other. It is a delight to knit and to know that love is knitted into every stitch.
