An 11-page English PDF with written instructions, charts and symbol keys, construction photos, and video links. It covers both blanket bases, joining the triangles, the leaf-and-bobble border and the final edging rounds.
Intermediate. You will use knit and purl stitches, yarn overs, increases and decreases, Kitchener stitch, a provisional crochet-chain cast-on, bobbles and picked-up stitches. The PDF includes close-up photos, chart keys and video links for support.
The square design is adjustable. The designer’s examples measure 100 × 100 cm (40 × 40 in) in plain knitting and 110 × 110 cm (43 × 43 in) in garter stitch. Your finished size depends on yarn, gauge and how large you choose to knit it.
Yarn: DROPS Air or an alternative suited to your chosen gauge. The designer’s examples use approximately 735 m / 800 yd for the plain-knit blanket or 1,100 m / 1,200 yd for the garter version. Quantity varies with yarn, gauge and finished size.
The examples use 6 mm / US 10 needles for plain knitting and 5 mm / US 8 for garter stitch. Swatch first and choose needle diameter to suit your yarn. Full size and gauge details are below.

Made by you. Kept for the memories.
Choose a smooth plain-knit centre or the soft ridges of garter stitch.
Build the triangles to the required length, then add the decorative border.
Leaf shapes and little bobbles frame the centre with a distinctive handmade edge.
The details make it special
The lace edging frames the blanket beautifully, giving your finished gift a thoughtful handmade finish. Choose a quiet neutral or a colour that belongs in their nursery.
Work the blanket base as two triangles, graft them together with Kitchener stitch, then add the border and final edging rounds.
Keep the written steps beside your needles, check a chart, or turn to a close-up photo when you want to see how a technique comes together.
An 11-page English PDF with instructions for both bases, charts for the stitch patterns and a key to the symbols.
See the triangle construction, grafting, provisional cast-on, border attachment and finishing in close-up.
Links accompany techniques and individual border rows, so you can refer to a demonstration alongside the written instructions.
A look at the construction before you cast on. The PDF walks you through the stitches and joins.
Choose plain knitting or garter stitch. Work two matching triangles, increasing to the length you need.
Graft the live stitches with Kitchener stitch. Separate photo instructions show the join for each texture.
Work the leaf-and-bobble border around the base, join its ends, then pick up stitches for the final edging rounds.
Choose the centre you would love to make. Both versions use the same decorative border.
A smooth centre that lets the lace leaves and bobbles stand out. The PDF explains how to graft the two plain-knit triangles.
A centre with visible ridges and texture. Includes its own photographed joining sequence for the garter-stitch triangles.
Your yarn and tension affect the shape and size. Use the planning examples below as a starting point and swatch before choosing your final needle size.
Both versions can be adjusted. These are the designer’s examples, so you have a starting point for choosing yarn and needles.
100 × 100 cm / 40 × 40 in
6 mm / US 10 needles
Approx. 735 m / 800 yd
Yarn: 210 m per 100 g
Gauge: 11 stitches × 20 rows per 10 cm
110 × 110 cm / 43 × 43 in
5 mm / US 8 needles
Approx. 1,100 m / 1,200 yd
Yarn: 200 m per 100 g
Gauge: 13 stitches × 24 rows per 10 cm
Swatch first: plain knitting can form a diamond rather than a perfect square. For a squarer result, the designer recommends aiming for about twice as many rows as stitches per 10 cm. Yarn quantity varies with your gauge and chosen size.
Before you cast on
Yarn: DROPS Air, or an alternative chosen with the gauge and shape guidance in mind.
Choose needle diameter for your yarn and gauge. The sizes above are examples, rather than one fixed requirement for every blanket.
Know what’s included and what to expect from your project.
No. This is a digital knitting pattern in English. The finished blanket, yarn and tools are not included.
One 11-page English PDF with plain-knit and garter-stitch versions, written instructions, charts and symbol keys, close-up photos and video links. The border has written row instructions as well as a chart.
The PDF includes charts with symbol keys and written instructions. The leaf border is also explained row by row, with video links alongside the rows.
Yes, but your gauge, finished shape and yarn requirements can change. Swatch first and choose needles to suit your yarn. The planning examples show two combinations rather than one fixed yarn requirement.
The border is knitted after the centre and attached to the base as you work. Its ends are then joined with Kitchener stitch before the final edging rounds.
The PDF contains links labelled VIDEO, including links for techniques and individual border rows. They open external videos rather than playing offline inside the PDF.
The designer does not give a fixed completion time. Allow for your knitting pace, the version you choose, your gauge and your finished blanket size.
Choose your colour, gather your needles and make a blanket with someone special in mind.
