I have developed this adaptation and it is shared here on my one mad tatter blog by agreement.
Introduction
I really like the bakewell blanket pattern from Jollijenniandchlola. It is a modern twist on the centre out ‘granny square’ baby blanket. It makes a nice pram/cot sized blanket using a single Scheepjes Whirl, and looks great in solid yarn colours too.
What I found confusing was the changing stitch counts, as the pattern climbs out in the centre of rows. I found it especially hard to track after turning the blanket between rows, and compensating for the single chain/skip a stitch pattern on the next row.
I consulted the chart on Ravelry (https://www.ravelry.com/projects/p1013/the-bakewell-blank...) and also the pattern extension from round 9 on Jollijenniandchlola’s blog
(http://jollijenniandchlola.blogspot.com/2018/03/bakewell-...). This information helped me, but I still had my eye stuck on the ‘jog’ in the pattern that snaked it’s way up one side of the blanket, and was especially visible when I wanted to make this in a solid colour.
I changed the pattern counts to climb out through the corners, like I would in a granny square blanket. This way the wobble isn’t noticeable in the finished blanket.
