Designed for little Rome (my new grand nephew), SQUARED is a fun blanket with just enough eyelet work to make it both interesting to see and fun to knit! And there are fun tassels on each corner!!!

Here I show it knit in Qing Fibre’s Super Soft DK, which is merino wool and cashmere, so simply scrumptious to the touch.

The pattern includes 2 blanket sizes: baby blanket and lap blanket sizes. The size of each blanket is determined by the number of Eyelet Sections completed. It is easy to make the blanket larger by simply adding more eyelet sections. Feel free to adjust as desired.

The blanket is worked diagonally, beginning at one corner and ending at the 2 opposite sides. 2 increases are worked at the center on every RS row to create the square shape. The first corner begins with 4-st I-cord that transitions into the I-cord edging around the blanket; the blanket is finished with an I-cord bind-off. Each corner has a 4”/10cm I-cord that’s eventually pulled through the head of a tassel.
