Ainsley's Blanket

Introducing a charming and versatile textured triangle and diamond design knit pattern, perfect for knitters looking to elevate their projects using only K (knit) and P (purl) stitches. This pattern is not only simple to follow, but it also allows you to incorporate a splash of a contrasting color (cc), making it an ideal way to use up those precious yarn ends from larger projects. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, this pattern offers both aesthetic appeal and practical functionality.

For this project, you'll need a main color (MC) of DK yarn in the following quantities: 395m, 741m, 1136m, 1590m, or 2130m depending on the desired size. Additionally, you will require a small amount of contrasting color (CC) yarn—only 13m, 24m, 36m, 51m, or 69m based on the size you choose. This combination allows for a delightful display of color while ensuring that your knitting remains both fun and engaging.

This pattern comes in multiple sizes, allowing you to create the perfect piece for your needs. Choose from sizes: 48x57 cm, 69x74 cm, 84x92 cm, 99x111 cm, or 114x129 cm. The versatility of this pattern ensures it can serve a variety of purposes, from cozy blankets to stylish shawls.

Maintaining a gauge of 20 stitches and 35 rows to 10cm is crucial for achieving the best results. For this project, you will need 3.75 mm knitting needles, along with a yarn needle for weaving in ends and two stitch markers to help you keep track of your progress. This pattern is not only a beautiful project but also a great way to improve your knitting skills and explore new design possibilities.
