Plaited Throw
Swatching stitch patterns is a unique thrill. How does an extra yarn over completely change the look of a pattern? When you cast on an extra stitch, what happens? And in this case, what marvel takes place to create a fabric that so closely resembles a woven basket or a plaited braid?
The marvel, it turns out, is simply a matter of “twisting” the stitches. You work the second stitch on the needle and then the first, so that one crosses over the other, much like weaving. It’s a simple two-row pattern that we walk you through step-by-step, so that you too will be marveling at your Plaited Blanket!
For this project, we double our Linen Quill, a fingering weight blend of fine wool, alpaca and linen. Doubled and plaited, it has a beautiful weight and warmth, and in Rose Granite, enough personality to make a statement! -Kristy

Materials
- 6 skeins of Purl Soho’s Linen Quill, 50% fine highland wool, 35% alpaca, and 15% linen. Each skein is 439 yards/ 100 grams; approximately 2,500 yards required. We used Rose Granite.
- US 11 (8mm), 32-inch circular needles
We also tried this stitch in Heirloom White (left) and Trout Brown (right). Also pretty!
Gauge
22 stitches = 4 inches in the stitch pattern
Size
Finished Dimensions: Approximately 38 inches wide x 48 inches long
Notes
For this pattern you’ll use the Linen Quill doubled. To do that, just pull a strand from two balls of yarn!
Stitch Pattern
There are lots of variations on woven or plaited stitches. Here’s how we do this one…
Row 1 (right side): *Insert the right needle through the back loop of the second stitch on the left needle. Wrap the yarn counterclockwise around the right needle and knit a stitch, but do not remove the second stitch from the left needle. Then, knit the first stitch on the needle as usual, and allow both stitches to fall off the left needle, repeat from * to end row.
Row 2 (wrong side): Purl 1 stitch, then… *purl the second stitch on the left needle by inserting the right needle through the front loop and purling a stitch. Do not remove the second stitch from the left needle. Then, purl the first stitch on the needle as usual, and allow both stitches to fall off the left needle, repeat from * to end of row.
NOTE: If you want to change the sizing or use this stitch pattern for a different project, cast on a multiple of 2 stitches.
Pattern
Loosely cast on 210 stitches, with yarn held doubled (see Notes, above). We used a basic Long Tail Cast On.
Row 1 (right side): *Knit second stitch on left needle through the back loop without removing stitch from needle, then knit the first stitch, slipping both stitches from needle, repeat from * to end of row.
Row 2 (wrong side): P1, *purl second stitch on left needle without removing stitch from needle, then purl the first stitch, slipping both stitches from needle, repeat from * to last stitch, p1.
Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until piece measures 48 inches from cast-on edge, ending with Row 2.
Bind off all stitches knitwise.
Weave in ends and block if desired!
I want to enlarge the Plaited Throw to 60″ x 72″. I bought 12 skeins of Linen Quill. How many stitches sould I cast on, andwhat size cable should I use? Would a 50″ work? TIA!
Hi Olga,
Thanks for writing in! This lovely pattern works over an even number of stitches and has a gauge of 22 stitches over 4 inches. So for a 60 inch wide blanket, you will want to cast on 330 stitches. With the 12 skeins of Linen Quill, you should be able to get a blanket 60 x60 inches. A 60 inch circular needle should do the trick!
Happy knitting!
Cassy
The care label says hand wash. For my 60″x60″ blanket, that would not be possible for me. Can this be dry cleaned using Dryel, or at a regular dry cleaner? Or should I re-think my plans for this yarn?
Hi Olga,
Thanks for the question! I suggest you wash the finished blanket in a bathtub or a medium size sink. Knits are supposed to be submerged and left along (no agitation) when washed, so if you have a basin of any kind that will fit the blanket, that should do. Otherwise, you can definitely dry clean the blanket if you have a good dry cleaner whom you trust.
All the best,
Adam
Thanks Adam
My concern is that I have a bad back, and couldn’t/shouldn’t lift the wet blanket. Can you recommend an alternative machine washable yarn that will give similar results?
Hi Olga,
Thanks for getting back to me. I suggest Anzula Squishy held double for a washable substitute. Hope you like it!
-Adam
Is there a way to print this PurlSoho pattern (and other free patterns) without printing several pages?
Hi Susan,
Great question! After you have clicked the print button on the right haNd side of the pattern page a new window will pop up with a print preview of the pattern. If you click on the drop down menu next to the word “images” you can select “remove images” This will cut down the amount of pages that will print. I hope this helps!
-Marilla
Yes, with the page open, right click your mouse. This will open a new window, scroll to and click on print. this will put you into print preview, most printers are set to “print all” by default, unlike print all and in the space below it where you can type, type in only the pages you wish to print, in this case it is pages 3-7, when I just checked a minute ago. Using their on screen print button typically will not put you into print preview and just print everything by default. Hope this helps.
What bind off technique do you recommend?
Hi Betsy,
Thanks for writing in! For this lovely throw we used a standard pass over bind off and we think that it is nice and neat!
Best,
Cassy
I would love to do this in cotton as a baby blanket, so new parents can have an easier time of washing it. Any suggestions for cotton yarn that would be good for this?
Hello Alexis,
Thank you for reaching out! The nice thing about adjusting blankets is that it is a rectangle so gauge matters much less. I would suggest using Cotton Pure and going up to US 13 or US 15 needles. I would knit a gauge swatch to determine which needle size works best and how many stitches per inch you are getting. Once you have your stitches per inch you will be able to figure out how many stitches to cast on.
Let me know if you have any further questions and good luck!
-Marilla
Hi! If I would like to make this into a blanket and use season alpaca yarn, what would be the needle size that I would need to get? Also, do I have to double up or no, since the yarn is chunkier than linen quill?
Thank you!
Hi Tessa,
Thanks for writing in! You can certainly make this blanket out of 1 strand of Season Alpaca. You will not get exactly the same look as the two strands together but I still think that it will be lovely. The look will be a bit more like our Mini Herringbone Scarf (the stitch patterns are not identical but cousins)! You should be able to use the same size needles but I would certainly recommend knitting a gauge swatch to be sure that you like the fabric at that gauge. You will need 6 skeins of the Season Alpaca to get a blanket of equal size using the yarn held singled.
I hope that this helps!
Cassy
I end up with an odd number of stitches remaining on the left needle when I purl the first stitch. Do I also purl the last stitch on the purl rows?
Thank you,
Virginia
Hello Virginia,
Thank you for reaching out! You are correct- you also purl the last stitch on all purl rows.
Happy knitting!
-Marilla
Do you think this throw would work with Anzula squishy for a more washable option? If so, what size needle would you recommend?
Hi Holly,
Thanks for writing in! I think that this would be lovely in Anzula Squishy! You may be able to use the same needles that we used here. I would certainly recommend knitting a gauge swatch. If the fabric seems a little tight, you may want to go up a needle size!
I hope that this helps!
Cassy
I like the idea of a washable version using Anzula Squishy too! Would you still double the strands? And, I’d like to make it a bit smaller so it’s baby blanket sized. Any suggestions for how much yarn to purchase for a smaller project? Thank you!
Hi Mary,
Great question! You would want to use 2 strands here as well! This is really what gives this blanket it’s texture. How much yarn you will need will very much depend on the actual measurements that you are hoping for. Baby blankets can vary very widely in size and shape! Our baby blankets range from 24 x 28 inches on the smaller end to 41 x 30 inches and 36 x 36 inches on the larger end with a large variation in the middle. For our sample we used roughly 2500 yards of yarn for a blanket that is 38 inches wide x 48 inches long. With that in mind, 4 skeins of Anzula Squishy should get you a blanket that is roughly 33 x 33 inches.
I hope that this helps!
Cassy
I just finished this throw in a merino/angora/silk blend and it is sooooo lovely! Question, though: the cast on and bind of edges are curling. Will blocking help with this?
Hello Allison,
Thank you for reaching out – i’m happy to hear you are enjoying this project! Blocking should relax the fiber enough to fix the curling issue.
I hope this helps and happy knitting!
-Marilla
Hi! If I take your substitution advice and us the washable Anzula Squishy, would I need the same amount of skeins and same kneedle size suggested as a starting point for finding gauge? Any downside to using this yarn as opposed to Linen Quill?
Hello Beth,
Thank you for reaching out- I think this blanket would be beautiful in either of theses yarns! You may be able to use the same needles that we used here, though I would certainly recommend knitting a gauge swatch before jumping in. If the fabric seems a little tight, you may want to go up a needle size. You should also be good with six skeins of Squishy, though it will be cutting it close. If you would like to get an extra skien to be on the safe side, but don’t use it, you can return it within 6 months in its original condition for store credit.
I hope this helps and happy knitting!
-Marilla
Thank you for the beautiful pattern, with gorgeous photos and excellent description/instructions!
I plan on doing the blanket in your lovely Linen Quill Rose Granite and would also like to do another blanket in a lace yarn as well. For the latter, my swatch is much too loose with an 11 needle, and much too tight with a 7. I don’t have an 8, 9 or 10 to make sample swatches and will be ordering the correct needle size along with the Rose Granite. What size needle would you recommend for lace-weight yarn? Thank you!
Hi Stephanie,
Thanks for the kind words! I think a size 10 needle (which is actually two sizes smaller than an 11, skipping size 10.5) would work out best, but you may also want to get a size 9 or 10.5 as well to try depending on how tight or loose you usually knit.
Good luck and happy knitting!
Julianna
Could I use US10 circular needles or should I buy 11? Anything I should do differently using 10? Thanks!
Hello Sarah,
Thank you for reaching out! This throw will likely knit up a bit to tight on a US10, though If you already have a US10 you could always try it out and see if you like the texture it creates or you could try using a slightly thinner yarn.
I hope this helps and let us know if you have any other questions!
Happy knitting,
Marilla
Hi — I love the look and sound of all this. Does the fiber content of Linen Quill tend to be itchy? I find some wools very itchy and others not so much, and am wondering whether the blend here would be alright.
Thanks!
Alina
Hello Alina,
Thank you for reaching out! The 35% of Alpaca creates a cozy softness in combination with the Hearty Highland Wool and Linen. Linen Quill also softens over time, so the more it is used and washed the softer it becomes!
I hope this helps and happy knitting!
-Marilla
Have you a pattern that uses a single strand of linen quill? Our winters are not cold enough to justify heavy layers.
Your patterns and yarns are beautiful, and I really want to try one.
Thank you.
Beth
Hi Beth,
Thanks for the kind words and for reaching out! We do have on blanket that is written for a single strand of Linen Quill, our Knit Four Points Baby Blanket. Although it is a baby blanket, you can certainly cast on more stitches to create a larger blanket! Another option would be to take one of our Linen Quill wraps, such as our Rose Stitch Wrap or Aperture Wrap, and adjust the cast on to the width of the throw you would like to make.
I hope that helps!
Julianna
Hi,
I was so looking forward to knitting your plaited throw as a baby blanket but mom-to-be wants 2 colors, specifically Cotton Pure’s Warm Cider and Yellow Curry. I think I read in previous posts that 2 colors would interrupt the woven appearance of this stitch and it seems that would be the case.
Do you have a pattern that would work well with 2 colors and maybe have the same woven effect? Or just another not too complicated stitch that would work well with this yarn?
Thank you!
Hi Susan,
Thanks for reaching out! What a lovely, richly colored blanket Warm Cider and Yellow Curry will make! While we don’t have any blankets with a similar woven look that would work well with two colors, we do have quite a few other options you may like. Our Tonal Blanket worked in just two colors would be lovely, and I can say from having seen one in person that the stitch pattern is fantastic in Cotton Pure! You might also consider our Optic Blanket or Mosaic Blanket – both would be subtly gorgeous in tone-on-tone colors. Finally, for a modern geometric look, our Four Corners Blanket would be really interesting using Warm Cider and Yellow Curry for the accents, and a neutral such as Birch Bark or Pale Almond for the main color.
I hope one of those blankets piques your interest!
Best,
Julianna
Hi Julianna,
Thanks for the good suggestions – they all pique my interest!
I’ll give the tonal blanket a try. Am I right that I’ll need 8 skeins, 4 in each color, for the crib size blanket?
thanks,
Susan
Hi Susan,
Hooray, I’m so glad you liked the Tonal Blanket! You are correct that you will need four skeins of your main color, but since you will be using one contrast color instead of five, you will only need two or three skeins of your contrast color. When I added up the total yardage, it came out to 2.01 skeins, so I suspect two will be fine, especially if you leave off a few rows at the end, but I would still recommend getting three skeins just in case! As long as you don’t wind the last skein, you can return it for store credit if you don’t need it.
Happy knitting, and do let us know how it turns out!
Julianna
Ooh! Right you are! Thanks for saving me from that mistake!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Julianna, hello again! I just looked for the first time at the comments for the tonal blanket and see the recommendation there to use the same number of skeins of the Cotton Pure as the Alpaca. The Cotton Pure has more yards/skein so I’m surprised by that advice. Nonetheless, I wanted to double check with you to be sure 4 skeins of the main color and 3 of the contrasting color will do the trick.
Also, I would love your thoughts on which of these 2 colors might work better as the main color.
Many thanks!
Hi Susan,
The recommendations for the contrast color are based on using multiple contrast colors, so 3 skeins for a single contrast color is correct, but I do apologize, I only thought to check the yardage on the contrast color! You will need four or five skeins of your main color in Cotton Pure – again, it’s quite close and you will only need a bit of the fifth skein, if you need it at all, so I would still keep that skein unwound to return for store credit. Cotton Pure does have more yardage than Season Alpaca, but it’s not quite enough more to greatly affect the number of skeins needed for the blanket.
Since the contrast color is somewhat shadowed by the texture of the blanket anyway, I would use the darker color, Warm Cider, for the contrast color. The shadows may diminish the contrast between the two colors if you use the lighter color for the background, but will enhance the contrast if you keep the light color in the foreground!
Best,
Julianna
I love this pattern and I have some yarn in my stash that I want to use. It’s a thicker yarn and the label recommends a 7 needle. What size needle do you think I should use?
Thanks in advance
Hello Rebel,
Thank you for reaching out! If you are doubling your yarn I would go up to a US17 needle, or you could just hold you yarn single strand with the original pattern. I would knit up a couple of swatches to see which texture you prefer and go from there.
Happy knitting!
-Marilla
It looks like this explanation isn’t for knitters who prefer knitting in the continental style? Can you give an easy explanation relative to whether we are doing a knit or purl for the 2nd and 1st stitches? Thanks!
Hello Andrea,
Thank you for reaching out! I find that an easy guide for this is to remember that if your knitting a stitch you will be picking (continental) or wrapping (English) your yarn to the back of your fabric, while a purl will be to the front. For this particular pattern you will be knitting on the right side of the fabric and purling on the wrong side. This means that row 1 is knit and row 2 is purled.
I hope this helps and happy knitting!
-Marilla
If I wanted to knit this in a worsted weight do I need to double the yarn?
Hello Karen,
Thank you for reaching out! I would reccomend using a single strand of worsted weight yarn for this blanket if you are knitting it up with a US11.
Happy knitting!
-Marilla
The pattern is lovely – and so is the way you guys explain it! What I was wondering: in many of your (blanket) patterns, you use two strands of yarn. But doesn’t the project become pretty heavy by doing so? Or is the blanket weight still okay and comfortable to lie under?
Hi Aline,
Thanks for reaching out! Doubling the yarn does make the yarn twice as thick, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In this case, Linen Quill is a fingering weight yarn, and holding it double makes it about equivalent to a worsted weight yarn, so although it is thicker and heavier than it would be held single, it isn’t anything unusual in the finished blanket. There are many patterns available for worsted weight blankets that would be quite similar! It also has the benefit of being able to use a larger needle so the knitting goes much faster.
I hope that clears things up, and happy knitting!
Julianna
Hi! I just love your site! This blanket is very intriguing and probably more than I should tackle. I’m interested in fresh pickle. Any ideas about using that color? Would you combine it with a different color for the second yarn? Thanks for the advise. Joy
Hello Joy,
Thank you for reaching out! I share your enthusiasm for this beautiful blanket and I think it will be great in Fresh Pickle. I think that adding another color will take away from the visibility of the pattern, so I would recommend sticking with the one color.
I hope this helps and happy knitting!
-Marilla
I knit a test swatch of this pattern (while I wait for my yarn to arrive) and I’m not happy with the untidy right edge… any suggestions on how to make it look more neat (like the left edge)?
Hi Jennifer,
Thanks for reaching out! If you look closely at our swatches, you will see that our right edge also looks a bit different from the left – it is unfortunately the nature of the beast with this stitch! I would try adding a narrow border of stockinette stitch to both sides of the swatch to encourage the selvage to curl slightly to the wrong side and see if it evens things out.
Best of luck and I hope that helps!
Julianna
I loved the Nature’s Pallet blanket I made with Linen Quill! I’d like to make this blanket and just saw that you are offering Linen Quill in worsted weight. Would the knit pattern work with the worsted weight and would it still need to be held double? How much yarn would be necessary? Would the needle size change? Thanks
Hi Mary,
Thanks for writing in, and what a wonderful idea! Yes, I think our new Linen Quill Worsted would be absolutely brilliant for this pattern! The pattern should work as written using the same needle size with a single strand of Linen Quill Worsted, but I would recommend knitting a gauge swatch to make sure, and you will need 8 skeins.
I hope that helps, and please do let us know how it turns out!
Julianna
Just for clarification…. I can make the plaited throw with a single strand of Linen Quill Worsted with the same needle size and 8 skeins. It will not affect the beautiful stitches or the look of the finished throw? Will it be a heavier/warmer blanket, or does the double strands of the fingering equal the same weight?
Thanks for the quick answer!
Hi Mary,
That is correct, although I do still think it would be a good idea to knit a gauge swatch first! The gauge of original Linen Quill held double is very similar to our new Linen Quill Worsted held single, so the finished blanket should be just about the same weight and thickness. If anything, I imagine the stitch definition will turn out a little crisper when knit with a single strand of yarn!
Best,
Julianna
Thanks, I’ve begun and it is going great with the Linen Quill Worsted. My gauge swatch indicated that I go down to a US 10 and the stitch definition looks great. I’ve even mastered the slow ballet of tinking the stitch with it’s slow untwisting and reordering of the stitch “legs”. Thankfully not having to do that often.
Is this yarn soft or scratchy? I want a yarn that’s really really soft for a throw!
Hi Amanda,
Thanks for reaching out! Linen Quill is a hearty and beautiful yarn to wear and work with! I wouldn’t consider it to be a scratchy yarn but it definitely isn’t as soft as a 100% merino yarn would be! If you are sensitive to scratchy yarns I would recommend substituting the Linen Quill for our Line Weight yarn!
All the best,
Gianna
If I made this in a throw size using the Worsted Linen Quill how many skeins would I need and what size needle? Thanks.
Hi Denise,
Thanks for reaching out! Since we hold Linen Quill Doubled for this pattern the gauge should be fairly similar to Linen Quill Worsted on its own! I would recommend 7 Skeins of the Linen Quill Worsted and I would also recommend sticking with the recommended needle size of the pattern (US 11) and working up a gauge swatch to see how it compares to the gauge of the pattern, you can adjust needle size from there if necessary!
I hope this helps!
All the best,
Gianna
No matter how loosely I cast on, when I go to knit the second stitch, the twisting makes it almost impossible to get the needle to go so I can move to the right needle. I start with yarn in back, go through back of second stitch, knit, do y/o and then to knit the 2nd, I have to twist the needles and can’t get the needle through! What am I doing wrong? The photos aren’t helping me. Thank you! Love this pattern and would really like to master it!
Hi Nancy,
Thanks for reaching out! The first row in a stitch pattern like this will always be the tightest but will get better the further into the pattern you get! But it sounds to me you are working the stitch pattern correctly. Insert the right needle through the back loop of the second stitch on the left needle. Wrap the yarn counterclockwise around the right needle and knit a stitch, but do not remove the second stitch from the left needle. Then, knit the first stitch on the needle as usual, and allow both stitches to fall off the left needle!
I would try to power through the first row and it should be much easier going into the 2nd row!
I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any more questions!
Warmly,
Gianna
Thank you for your response. Got it going! Unfortunately I find the yarn itchy and flat. Took it down to 10 1/2 needles and will do a cold water soak with fabric softener when finished. Fingers crossed. Beautiful stitch though!
Hello! This is a beautiful pattern and I have the hang of it after some practice rounds. However, I can’t fix problems. I can’t figure out how to unknit when I’ve run into an issue. I’ve tried and just screw it up even more. I had to undo several days worth of knitting and start over. Can you describe the appropriate way to unknit for both the right side/wrong side? Thank you!
Hi Amy,
Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, this stitch is a bit tricky to unknit since it is a more involved stitch pattern. The best way in general to unknit is to use the needle in your left hand, and insert it into the stitch below the current stitch that is on the right needle. Once the stitch below is secure on the left needle you can gently pull the upper stitch off of your right needle and pull the yarn through leaving the stitch that was below on the left needle. You can continue to do this as many times as necessary to remove any stitches that are incorrect.
I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any more questions!
Gianna
I saved this pattern a couple of years ago, and having made several blankets – with particular fondness for the Nature’s Pallet Blanket (I made it 50% larger with garter stitch – sleep under it all the time!) and Linen Quill yarn. I’m thinking of beginning this throw, and read with interest the comments about using Linen Quill Worsted instead. I made a swatch using a couple of different colors of double Linen Quill (dark green and light green) and then also a stripe using Heirloom white Linen Quill worsted. I really LOVE the thickness of the worsted weight and the definition of the stitches! I think I’ll proceed with making an oversized throw in this pattern. One thing concerns me, though – the bound off edge looks sloppy and uneven, even after blocking. Would it make sense to do a couple of rows of garter or something at both the start and the finish? I’d love to get your thoughts. Thank you – Lisa
P.S. I’m happy to send a picture of the three different colors/weights.
Hi Lisa,
Thanks for reaching out. I definitely think that a few rows of garter stitch will even out the cast-on and bind-off edges! It should work very well, but the one thing I would make sure to keep in mind is that your stitch gauge should remain the same across the two different stitches. I doubt it will vary significantly, but don’t be surprised if you need to change needles for the edges. I hope this helps!
All the best,
Lili
Hi, I love this pattern, but would like it in a softer material than Linen Quill. Can you please recommend any yarn with cashmere?
Thank you
Hi Elle,
Thanks for reaching out! In place of Linen Quill, I would suggest using Posy (75% superwash merino, 15% cashmere, and 10% nylon) or Line Weight (100% merino wool) both are incredibly soft and would work great for this throw! As always, I would suggest working a gauge swatch prior to beginning to ensure you are consistent with the pattern.
I hope this helps, happy knitting!
Gianna
I have been intrigued by this pattern for a long time. I am considering trying it in Lantern yarn. Do you think that would work? What needle size should I use? Any changes I should make? Or maybe Lantern is just not the right yarn for this pattern? I realize I will have to adjust the pattern to end up with the proper size throw.
Hi Rita,
Thanks for reaching out. You can absolutely use Lantern for this pattern, but you may need to adjust the number of stitches you cast on. To figure out your cast-on number, you will want to first knit a gauge swatch in pattern with your intended needles (size US 11 should work, but you can experiment). Once you know how many stitches you are getting per inch, you can multiply that number by the width that you would like and cast on the nearest even number. Then you can follow the pattern as written!
All the best,
Lili
I would love to try this pattern, however I don’t understand when you say “ let the stitches fall off the needle. It sounds to me like I’m not going to have any stitches left on my needles.
Hi Samantha!
Thank you for your question. When working woven or plaited stitches, you will be creating two stitches from two stitches, and then letting the old two stitches fall off your needle as you would normally after knitting or purling a stitch. This means that you will have the same number of stitches after each row! I suggest working a small swatch of this stitch pattern (on an even number of stitches) to get a feel for how this blanket takes shape on a smaller scale. That way, you can cast on for your blanket with confidence!
I hope this helps!
All the best,
Margaret
Hello!I’m generally a loose knitter, and usually have to go down a needle size or 2. I was thinking about a size 9. Is it super important to use such a large needle for this pattern, or would I be OK with a size 9?
Thanks so much!
Karen Thiemermann
Hi Karen,
Thanks for reaching out. The best way to determine what size needle you should use is by knitting a gauge swatch in pattern! You can try either the recommended needle, or a different size first, and once you measure the gauge you’re getting, you can try swatching with another size if necessary. I hope this helps get you started!
All the best,
Lili
Hello!
This pattern seems to be in American style knitting, and I tend to use English style – would it be possible to have this pattern translated to English style of knitting?
Thank you so much!
Hi Alexandria,
Thanks for reaching out! Our photo tutorial for this stitch pattern is shown in the English style of knitting (holding you yarn in the right hand). I’d suggest practicing the pattern by knitting a small swatch first so that you can get the hang of the stitches before beginning the full blanket!
All the best,
Lili
