Nectar Blanket

For the Nectar Blanket we suggest knitting and blocking a hexagon, rather than a traditional gauge swatch, to get an idea of how you like the fabric. Use the included layout diagrams and size formulas to work out how many hexagons you'll need for your desired blanket size, whether that's for a baby or a king sized bed. You can choose to work the blanket in a single colour or many - a great way to use up any small scraps of yarn that you might have lying about! If you are keen on contrast, the garter stitch borders can be knit using another colour for an effect similar to quilt sashing.

The hexagons are knit in the round from the centre out and the lace pattern is simple, with the pattern including both written and charted instructions. The pattern includes directions all of the triangles and half hexagons, which are knit flat, needed to fill in the gaps and create a rectangular shape. After joining the pieces a garter stitch border is worked in the round to complete the blanket. Alternatively, you can create a more organic shape by simply joining hexagons.

Our patterns are thoroughly checked and tested but occasionally errors do slip through. These are updated in the patterns as soon as possible, and we also issue periodic updates to clarify directions, extend size ranges, or add more inclusive pattern formats.
