This is a very large and time-consuming project which requires a fair bit of concentration to make sure the charts are followed correctly; but the result is a gorgeous and sizeable baby blanket, twice as thick and warm as most other knitted blankets. It incorporates ‘step’ and ‘key’ motifs inspired by traditional designs from medieval Celtic illuminated manuscripts, and is completely reversible.

Requires double knitting techniques (explained in pattern), chart reading and grafting.

2010-04-21 Errata

There are two small errors in the pattern which I will eventually be correcting in the PDF:

Row 3 should read:
K1 with colour A, P1 with colour B, *K1 with colour B, P1 with colour A, repeat from * until only two stitches are left on the left needle, K1 with colour A, P1 with colour B.

Row 237 should read:
K1 with colour A, P1 with colour B, *K1 with colour B, P1 with colour A, repeat from * until only two stitches are left on the left needle, K1 with colour A, P1 with colour B.

2009-09-13: New version of PDF uploaded; almost all changes are cosmetic, but one correction was made to the chart schematic - two of the sections said to use Chart H when one of them should actually have said to use chart I.
