Blanket 47: Leafy Forest

Nalhcib 10/25/2023
The Leafy Forest blanket is a stunning piece that is sure to impress and inspire any knitter.

The Leafy Forest blanket is a beautiful pattern that is reminiscent of leaves and foliage. This pattern is created using standard basic lace knitting techniques, such as yarn over, knit 2 together, and slip slip knit.

The Leafy Forest blanket is perfect for any nature lover or anyone who appreciates the beauty of a well-made knit item.
The blanket I made is approximately 32 x 44 in (wide x long). It was knit using 400g (1100-1200m) of worsted weight yarn and US size 6 knitting needles.
If you want to make a blanket sized to your needs, use knitting needles suitable for the yarn you've chosen, check the gauge, and cast on a multiple of 14 sts, plus 21.
