Feather Lace Knitting Pattern

Feather Lace Knitting Pattern

Feather-like lace, framed in garter stitch

Let a trail of openwork feathers grow across your needles. This blanket pairs an airy lace centre with a substantial garter border, so the finished texture has room to shine in one well-chosen yarn.

What is inside the pattern?

A 4-page English PDF with written row instructions, a lace chart and key, three sizes, finishing guidance and photographed steps for optional corner tassels. A linked video demonstrates the centred double decrease; it is not a complete blanket walkthrough. This is a knitting pattern, not a finished blanket. Yarn and tools are not included.

Is this the right level for me?

Work the blanket flat, starting with a garter border and continuing with a ten-row lace repeat. You will use knit, purl, yarn overs, k2tog, ssk and a centred double decrease. Wrong-side rows are purled across the centre with knit borders. Both written directions and a chart are supplied.

Finished size & fit

  • Small: approx. 50 × 65 cm after blocking; 240 m yarn.
  • Middle: approx. 75 × 95 cm after blocking; 600 m yarn.
  • Large: approx. 105 × 120 cm after blocking; 1,000 m yarn.

These are finished blanket measurements after blocking, at the stated lace gauge.

Materials needed

Use aran/bulky yarn: approximately 240 / 600 / 1,000 metres for Small / Middle / Large. The sample yarn is 100% merino at 150 m per 100 g; the pattern lists 2 / 4 / 7 balls of that specific yarn. Buy substitute yarn by the required metres, not by matching the ball count.

Use 5.5 mm needles, preferably circular to hold the stitches, or the size that gives gauge; two stitch markers and a tapestry needle. A matching crochet hook is optional for the corner tassels.

The finished project

Openwork with a defined edge

The feather-like motifs repeat across the centre while the garter border frames all four sides. Choose the small size for a compact blanket or the large size for a more generous piece; each uses the same lace motif on a different scale.

Blocking is part of the finish, opening the lace so the repeated shapes become distinct.

From the first stitch to the finish

Your time with the needles

Follow the rhythm of a ten-row repeat

The written rows and chart give you two ways to follow the same lace sequence. Markers separate the centre from the garter edges, and the instructions suggest extra markers between repeats if you find them helpful.

Finish with the top garter border, a loose cast-off and woven-in ends. Optional tassels add a final detail, with photographs showing how they are attached.

A few things before you begin

Choose your size, check your yarn and plan your first stitches.

Do I have to read a chart?

No. The lace is supplied as written row instructions as well as a chart with a symbol key, so you can use the format you prefer.

Are the tassels required?

No. Corner tassels are an optional finishing detail. The PDF includes written steps and photographs; the blanket can be finished without them.

What gauge should I aim for?

13 stitches and 20 rows measure 10 × 10 cm in the lace pattern after blocking, using 5.5 mm needles or the size needed to achieve gauge.

How do I receive my pattern?
