Arabesco is a square baby blanket started in the center. It is knitted with circular needles using the magic loop technique or double-point needles. It is divided into four parts by three-stitches cables and decorated with reliefs made with twisted stitches and bobbles. Although it may seem somewhat complicated, it is not at all and is really lovely.
The blanket has a square shape and measures approximately 1m x 1m / 40” x 40”. These measurements correspond to the finished and blocked piece.
I used 1000 meters of Gaia quality of Hilaturas LM, 50% wool, 50% acrylic in color 1025 to make this pattern. If you prefer to use another quality, I recommend that you use yarn not too fluffy or with too many decorations like speckles or several color changes. That would not allow the texture of the shawl to stand out. Some of my testers used the quality Katia Merino Classic and the blankets looked great too.

Arabesco es una manta cuadrada pensada para bebé empezada por el centro. Se teje en circular con magic loop o agujas de doble punta. Está dividida en cuatro partes por unas trenzas de tres puntos y adornada con unos relieves realizados con punto derecho retorcido y unos bodoques. Aunque pueda parecer algo complicada, no lo es en absoluto y queda muy vistosa.
La manta tiene una forma cuadrada y mide 1m x 1m de lado aproximadamente. Para tejer este patrón, yo he utilizado 1000 metros de la calidad Gaia de Hilaturas LM, 50% lana, 50% acrílico en el color 1025. Si no utilizas esta, te recomiendo que uses una lana que no tenga demasiado pelo ni muchos cambios de color para que las texturas destaquen. Varias de mis testers usaron Katia Merino Classic y las mantitas quedaron estupendas también.
