Da Luxe Blanket
TIME TO STASH DIVE! Who has an advent set they haven’t broken into yet? Or skeins and skeins of DK or Fingering Weight yarn in luscious colors?
Da Luxe Blanket is a highly entertaining seamless knit. First four modular quilt squares are made. These squares start from the center out and have wedges that are connected with Laura’s signature modular move. Once the four squares are done, they are linked together by a center and connectors in a similar manner to the squares.
The pattern includes a detailed video tutorial for building the squares, along with yarn and color advice. Written for both fingering and DK weight yarn this blanket will have you amused from start to finish!
Da Luxe Blanket starts with the center motif from Da Luxe Shawl… the only difference is last st of every wedge is bound off! So if you started Da Luxe, but now want to make the blanket you can totally do that!
We’ve got a KAL thread set up in my Ravelry group… I’ll bet people are going to have questions about color! PLEASE check out the testers versions of this pattern, every one is different than the next and I cannot wait to see these fly off of more needles!!!
