What you need to know

Treat a little one to Jo Allport’s chunky blanket

Let the yarn do the colourwork, while you have a go at subtle texture and pretty lace. The main pattern is made up of alternating knit and purl stitches over a 14-row repeat. The edging then uses increases and decreases to create a lovely lacy scallop effect. Don’t worry, we’ll talk you through all the different techniques. This blanket is the perfect size for babies or even as a lap-blanket for adults.
