Lacy leaves clinging, bare stems twining around strong lines of a vineyard… that is what inspired this blanket. And just as it can be unexpected to find beauty in a bare branch, this blanket found lace in an unusual heavy yarn weight. A soft, sculpted fabric was formed from this bulky yarn. The short sides are finished by either knotted fringe or crocheted leaf edging; both complement the vineyard pattern.

Three sizes are given: Baby Blanket (32” x 42”), Lap Throw (40” x 52”), and Afghan (52” x 60”). Either the chart or written instructions may be used for the lace pattern since both are included. The rapid pattern repeat allows this blanket to be worked until a skein is finished. Detailed instructions are given for making the knotted fringe. The quick 4-row pattern repeat, large needles, and big friendly yarn all help this blanket work up fairly quickly.

ERRATA:
Instructions for Row 4 had a small error in past versions. It should have read “… to last 6 sts …” instead of “… to last 5 sts …”.
