Notes
The blanket has moss stitch borders that flank the diamond pattern used for the main body of the blanket.
Choose yarn with a good stitch definition to show off the elegant diamond pattern. Fuzzy or boucle yarns will not be appropriate for this design.
Blanket can be made bigger or smaller by adjusting the number of diamond pattern repeats.
Same pattern can be used for afghans, scarves, stoles or bedspreads.
