Adeline looks complicated but is an easy, relaxing knit suitable for a first lace project. It has a four row stitch pattern that can be learned quickly.

The fabric can seem long and thin while you’re knitting but once blocked the finished blanket has a pattern with graceful curves highlighted by eyelets.

In a sport weight or 4 ply yarn it makes a lightweight blanket that’s ideal for a spring or summer baby. It could be knitted in a thicker yarn to make a cosy cold weather blanket or throw.
