The Kaleidoscope Blanket pattern was created to take advantage of all the potential Noro Silk Garden yarn has to offer. This self-patterning yarn blends one colour into the next producing a radiating colour effect, and in the case of this blanket pattern the diamond effects too. Simple garter stitch squares are knit with increases and decreases which create the dynamic diagonals. Squares are seamed together to make a baby blanket or afghan-sized blanket. A border is knit right onto the finished blanket, Have fun with your colour selection! Dramatic changes in colour add to the joy knitting this project.

Finished size: 70cm x 90cm / 28” x 36”(115cm x 155cm / 45”x62”)

Level: Knitters must know how to cast on, knit, bind off, and seam with mattress stitch. The pattern includes a pictorial tutorial for increasing stitches with “make ones” and one for “picking up stitches” too.
