Breaking out the Addi lace needles for this - the pointy tip is helpful for the p3togs. As always started with a crochet provisional cast on, ready to pick up live stitches for border.

Yarn is such a bargain - £1.80 a ball in the drops sale. Shade is a very pale pinkish beige.

For border Picked up 130 along top edge and 170 along sides as recommended, but used 3.75/US 5 for 2x2 ribbing and it is still a touch on the flared side. Worked ribbing until 5cm deep.

Finished and blocking. Had to really stretch this out width ways to get the recommended finished width of 60 cm. My finished blanket is going to be on the lacy side from the extreme blocking.

No gauge is given on the original pattern, but I am coming out at about 24 sts x 29 r to 10 cm2 using 4.5mm/US 7.

If I were to knit this again with similar yarn I would probably start co 121 to get the 60 x 80 cm dimensions and use 3.5/US4 for the ribbing.
