CONSTRUCTION: The Karo Blanket is made from individual shapes that are directly connected. First, triangles are worked to form the bottom edge of the blanket. Then, squares are knitted directly onto the already knitted elements using short rows, so that the blanket grows piece by piece. The main part consists of a repeating sequence of shapes, which makes knitting quickly intuitive. The size of the blanket can be easily adjusted by adding or omitting additional rows. However, the required yarn quantity should be considered accordingly.
SIZE GUIDE: The Karo Blanket can be knitted in three different sizes: as a baby blanket, as a throw, or as a bedspread. By adding or omitting rows and shapes, the size can be individually adjusted to your wishes.
