I joined an afghan square swap but before I got around to fulfilling my end of the swap, I knitted a couple of stroller blankets from a friend’s pattern, Baby Chalice Blanket by Lykkefanten, available on Ravelry. I fell in love with the chalice lace stitch that she used in her blanket and ended up devising a square pattern based on the stitch. After baker’s dozen of squares plus completing both of the blankets, I’m still not tired of this stitch!

The square is knitted from top down so when finished, turn it around to see it as shown. I named this Immortal Flame as it reminds me of the Olympic torch!

Once you get the hang of how the lace stitches lay out, it gets easy to just go by memory and read the knitting to see where you are.
