ola is a happy accident! When I initially cast on this blanket, I had a slightly different vision for how I wanted this stitch pattern to turn out. After 3 repeats I realised two things:

I fluffed up and didn’t knit quite the repeat I needed to.

I actually really liked the way the blanket was coming together.

So rather than unravel a perfectly lovely blanket, I pressed on and Lola was born! I’m actually so happy that I did fluff up the repeat, as I think the way the stockinette sections intersect works so well.

Guage is not important for this project as long as your tension is consistent.

A video tutorial is linked at the bottom of the pattern.
