I think the diamond blanket is beautiful and I would like to make it but there isn't enough stitches for a baby blanket is this a typeo or is this a doll blanket. 45 stiches on size 7 needles is very small. could you e-mail me with your answer.
Hi Debbie
The pattern is a repeat of 8 stitches
so I used for a blanket
142 stitches
Uses 6 stitches for the borders and 136 for the pattern repeat of 8 sttches.
It makes a beautiful blanket.
Glad you like it and hope this helped you.
The picture is of a cloth when I first designed the pattern.
Sorry- new to following patterns. If there are 6 stitches for the border, is that 6 on either side of the 136 (8 repeat patterns 17x) -- so you need to cast on 148 stitches? Assuming a baby blanket, how many times, then do you repeat the 8 stitches and how many times do you repeat the 4 stitches? THANKS
I guess I don't get the border- is that part of the directions? For example, in row 1: k1, p1, k1, p3-- is this the border?
Hi Karen
The border consist of only 6 stitches which you would do 3 on each side.
Example
k1,p1,k1,( repeat pattern 17 times = 136 st) then do p1,k1,p1 for end border.
Just reminder to change your first and last 3 stitches to moss stitch. You could also just knit them if you find it to complicated. When a person just starts following patterns it is easier if you don't try to put to much in. I know for me when I started it was a lot of practice and YES I still have to frog too, But always think of it as a learning experience.
Hope you are doing okay with the pattern. I am not at home so not able to send you a directly e-mail.
Annette
This would make a beautiful baby blanket! Thank you for sharing!
I'd love to make your blanket, but I'd like to know the approximate amount of yarn needed (yards or skeins) and the weight of yarn (I'm assuming worsted weight). Thanks a lot. Marcia
Could you please send me the pattern for this in baby blanket size, I am having issues knitting it using hte tinier verion pattern. Email me at captianmorgansgirl@yahoo.com
I have not knitted for many years and I am having problems understanding your directions. I am having a problem with line 7, the stitches to not add up. HELP Jo
Please explain line 7 as the stitches do not add up.
ROW 7: K1,P1,K2,(P5, K1,P1,K1,) REPEAT 4 TIMES,
ENDING WITH P5,K2,P1,K1
When anything is in brackets () repeat 4 times
Means repeat p5,k1,p1,k1, x 5 times.
Hope that explains it for you.
Annette
I don't understand how to take the smaller version pattern and make it the blanket size. When you say "pattern repeat of 8 stitches" what does that mean? I understand the 3 stitches for each side of the border, but not how to stitch the remaining 136 stitches. Please help, as I'm dying to get started!
Hi Julie
Don't forget your border stitches and them repeat the centre pattern 17 times and then repeat the border.
One of the things that really helps me is to reread your pattern until you can understand what you are to do.
I know it takes time but it does help in the long run because nobody ever writes out the whole pattern.
Hope this helps you get started.
Annette - thank you for the tips. I think I understand the pattern now. However, I was wondering if I wrote out the first 3 rows, if you could please tell me if that's correct, so I know that I understand the pattern correctly? (especially before I get started!)
Row 1: K1 P1 K1 (K1 P7)repeat 17 times, end with P1 K1 P1
Row 2: K1 P1 K1 (P1 K7) repeat 17 times, end with P1 K1 P1
Row 3: K1 P1 K1 (K1 P1 K1 P5) repeat 17 times, end with P1 K1 P1
Thanks for all your help.
Yes that is correct Julie.
Annette
I just found this pattern and thougth I understood it. However in the original instructions the first line says to K1, P1, K1 P3 (k1, P7). I understand the repeat of the (). But in the directions one person wrote out for the first 3 rows they left out the P3 on the first row? I am confused and it did not come out right when I started it. Help?
Also, on the start it says to end with a knit sticth. If I cast on 142 and k1,p1 I keep ended with a purl stitch. I would appreciate any help.
thanks
Warning: I haven't cast on this blanket so this is all based on some number crunching.
For the blanket pattern, I think you would have 6 border sts, 16 repeats of the 8 stitch pattern, and one repeat that is actually 7 stitches, making 141 stitches total.
This matches the numbers from the dishcloth pattern better, and uses an odd cast on number, which is necessary to keep the seed stitch border as written.
If you Cast on 141 sts the first few rows will work out like this
pattern
row 1: K1, P1, K1, P3, (K1,P7)x16 K1, P3, K1, P1, K1
row 2: K1, P1, K4, (P1,K7)x16 P1, K4, P1, K1
row 3: K1, P1, K1, P2 ((K1, P1, K1,P5,)x16 K1, P1, K1, P2,K1, P1, K1,
Thanks for your imput and looks like you explained it better than I could.
Sometimes it is very difficult to explain things to new knitters and this was based on the original design of a dishcloth.
I have the same question posed in January...mlincoln35 said... ..
How much yarn is required for a baby blanket...either yards or skeins (and size of skeins) so I know how much to purchase of the same dye lot.
jane
For a baby's blanket you are going to repeat pattern.You are going to need at least 600grams.
Hope that helps and let me know how you make out.
8st border 136st pattern and another 8sts border.
Total of cast on 152sts.
Annette
Ok I am new to knitting but i been crocheting for couple of years. I want to make sure i understand the pattern right. in the pattern it says repeat () 4 times but in but in the comments it says 17.
On the boarder do i alternate the beginning of the row between knits and purls?
It is really hard to turn the small pattern into a larger one - do you have the full pattern and could you send it to me or publish it ? It's so beautiful. i would love to make it for my upcoming grandson.
