My favourite season is here again and to celebrate it s return, yet another autumn blanket. This is my fourth homage to the season of misty mornings and crisp golden leaves. Just a little lap blanket this time only 56 squares, so you can hook it up in no time.
I used a ball each of nine shades of Stylecraft Special DK were used bottle, khaki, meadow, lime, mustard, gold, copper, gingerbread and claret to capture that perfect autumnal morning in a colour wash layout.
You can use any type of five round granny square to make this. I chose a simple circle into square this time, but a regular granny or a starburst would look just as good.
I used a 3.5mm hook as I like that denser feel you get when using DK, but a 4mm will work just as well too and give you a slightly bigger blanket.
You can find the pattern and colour layout on Ravelry here .
I know not everyone is happy with the new design of Ravelry so I am happy to email the PDF direct to you, just contact me on craftycatknittybits@gmail.com.
Also chicken tested.
I popped it in my saddle bag of my bike and took it for a photo shoot around the Gloucestershire countryside where I live one misty morning. So it can be properly of its season.
