Seascape Waves Blanket worked in Ice Magic Bulky (category 5) looks fabulous in the variegated colour way however the pattern also looks lovely in single colour yarn due to the texture produced by working v stitch corner to corner with a scallop border.

This is an advanced beginners pattern which is relatively simple, the stitch placement is the most complex part of this work. V stitch is worked corner to corner, increasing to the desired width and decreasing to close off the end of the blanket. The blanket edging helps to even out any wavy edges and finished off with a scallop pattern.

Directions are given within the pattern for a square blanket and a rectangular blanket.

The world is your oyster when it comes to finished size. Directions are given within the pattern for how to use the total weight of yarn you have to plan your blanket. Gauge is unimportant, its more important to get the drape you want for the finished piece so it is worthwhile making a smaller swatch using your chosen yarn and hook size to check the effect as you may need to increase/decrease hook size.

This blanket is simple in construction - just two ends to weave in! All you need is a hook, needle for sewing in ends and yarn.

The finished size using bulky yarn was around 90cm x 80cm the size can be changed dependant on the type and amount of yarn used. Its not necessary to use bulky yarn any weight can be used.

I hope you enjoy this pattern as much as I did!
