CO 199 sts and work in g st for 3 rows.

Continue working textured- and lace pattern acc to chart, starting at row 1, as follows: k16, work patt rep of 16 sts 11 times, k7. Work rows 2-10 of chart, then rep rows 11-26. Please note that the number of stitches in the individual rows is not always the same.

Note: When 10 rows of the pattern have been worked, work two additional rows of 5 sts on each side (so that the edges of the blanket do not pull), as follows: k5 on RS, turn work and k5 on WS. Then work 1 complete RS row. K5 on WS, turn work and k5 on RS. Work 1 complete row on WS. Repeat these 2 extra rows on each side of the work, approx. every 8–10 cm / 3.2 - 4”.

When work measures approx. 145 cm / 57” and row 26 of chart is finished, work rows 27–37 once more. Then work 3 rows in g st over all sts and BO all sts.

Finishing

Place the blanket onto a flat surface, acc to measurements, dampen and let dry.
