Notes

15.10.2016

Row Gauge coming out at approx 20 rows per 10 cm2.

Lattice: Worked over 12 Rows
Rope: Worked over 18 Rows
Mirrored Braid: Worked over 36 Rows

I’ve charted out the 36 row repeat of the 3 different cable patterns to make following along a bit easier visually. I’ve also reversed the left lattice pattern so that the blanket has mirror symmetry along the vertical centre.

(8 x 36 Row Repeats = 288) + 6 for Symmetry = 294 Rows (147 cm)

Approx 15 rows from 1 ball = 19.6 balls required for 8 reapeats.

As others have mentioned, once things are underway both sides are almost completely identical - the only way to tell them apart if you lose your marker is to look at the centre horseshoe panel - If you can K1,P1 all the way across the panel you are on an “A” side row. If you need to switch to keep the moss stitch correct, then you are on a “B” side row.

1/8 repeats finished 15.10
2/8 repeats finished 06.11
3/8 repeats finished 11.11
4/8 repeats finished 13.11
5/8 repeats finished 16.11
6/8 repeats finished 21.11
7/8 repeats finished 26.11
8/8 repeats finished 04.12

17.12.2016

Added another 18 rows (half repeat) for horizontal symmetry.

For a yarn with such a loose - well almost non existent - twist, it has knitted up with excellent stitch definition. I don’t think this will even need a full blocking.

21.12.2016

Finished weaving in ends and got some FO pics. Decided to skip the blocking as I really don’t think it was needed.
