What you need to know
We’ve now reached the penultimate stage of our gorgeous blanket and this week, we bring you two very different stitches. The first one is Diamond Rib which features a pretty eyelet design, while Zig Zag Moss Stitch combines knits and purls to great effect. We’d love to see how you’re getting on and which colour scheme you’ve chosen. Download this pattern to continue knitting your blanket. Share your pics on our private members’ Facebook group!
