Stunning! I’ll take lace over cables any day
Wow…Just stunning! taking a lace class now..This is on my list.
I love this pattern. I was wondering if I made it from a worsted weight yarn if it would lay flat? I have some lovely pink in my stash but it is worsted weight not dk.
Thanks for the beautiful pattern and any help you can give me on my gauge.
Use slightly bigger needles, like 8s (5mm) and cast on 12 stitches less than given for the size you want. That should get pretty close to the right size.
Hi
What does this mean that 4 sets of 87 stiches or4 sets of 111
stiches? Is it each sides will be 87 stiches?
Thank you
Yes. Cast on each of the sets of 87 or 111 etc for the size wanted, and place a marker between the sets which will be the corners.
How do I figure out how much yarn I need to buy to knit the
medium size (24.5″ square)Tiffany Lace Baby Blanket?
Thanks, Susan
It would take approximately 550 yards (10.5 oz).
I am not really an experience knitter, but want to tackle this blanket. Now… don’t laugh at my question: Is the blanket knitted together or in sections?
It is knitted together as one piece. No seams.
That I like! I just want to knit! especially lace, forget the seams!
Now can you tell us how much yarn we will need to
make all the other sizes besides medium???
I am looking forward to knitting this pattern and I
thank you so very much!
On my later patterns I’ve been including a chart for the different sizes with that information. I added one of those charts for the Tiffany pattern at your suggestion.
I love this pattern and would really like to make it. If I make it in worsted weight yarn any suggestion on how to figure out how to calculate how much yard I should purchase?
What size do you want your blanket to be? Also, if you already have a specific yarn picked out, what are it’s needle size suggestion and gauge?
For Red Heart soft baby steps yarn I found using size 8 needles (5 mm) that the gauge is 17 stitches per 4 inches. Here are some size choices and the approximate yardage:
Cast on 4 sets of 135 – 32″ square – 620 yards
Cast on 4 sets of 159 – 37.5″ square – 850 yards
Cast on 4 sets of 183 – 43″ square – 1,120 yards
how many balls of baby soft does it take to make mid blanket?it says 7ozs no yards ty
The mid-sized blanket takes approximately 550 yards. 7 oz of Baby Soft would be about 640 yards, so one ball should do it.
I don’t understand how using a circular needle, with the stitches joined, can become a flat blanket!
This is definitely a different method than the usual for making a blanket. The stitches cast on form all the outside edges. The decreases make right angles so that what you knit becomes smaller and smaller until it meets at the center.
This blanket is so beautiful! I am also going to attempt it in WW yarn rather than DK. I’ll size up on my needles. Thanks so much for writing and sharing this awesome pattern!!!
It so beautiful I speechless .I will make one for me
I love this baby blanket. I’m assuming that the 24 inch blanket is for preemies? That is the size I’m most interested in. I’m anxious to start on one of these for donations to hospitals for the babies too small to survive without the warmth needed to aid them.
I know that the various groups that accept preemie blanket donations want different sizes, so I provided directions for several sizes hoping that would meet the need. Thank you so much for knitting for charity.
Thank you so much Mama! I’ve down loaded the pattern with all the different sizes. You rock Mama! You have a huge heart to help me with the different sizes! I can hardly wait to start knitting!
Irene
This is a most amazing pattern. My printer isn’t working but I like this pattern so much. I have written it out in long hand and intend to get started as soon as I finish the projects I have alreading in the making. Your directions and all your different sizes were so complete and clear. I commend you highly. Thanks so much for sharing
Chris, my printer is not working either, so what I do is go to our library downtown and use their computers to print out my patterns, or anything else that needs printing. It is ten cents a page, unfortunately, but it is working for me until I get this printer fixed. Happy Knitting!
FedEx/Kinkos also prints cheaper. I take my laptop in and have them print for me. Actually cheaper than ink for my printer [which is not working now either!]
You actually don’t even have to take your laptop. Just upload to a flash drive and FedExOffice will print from that.
This is a beautiful blanket. I have just learned how to yo in a blanket I am making now. I have tried to learn to knit in the round and just can’t get the hang of it. Is it possible to knit the small or medium in straight needles? I usually use a 9″ for my baby hats and booties and not the 6″. I am a senior and have trouble with the smaller needles. Thanks for any help.
This is how I would convert this to straight needles. Only cast on two sets of the stitches to do two sides at one time. Once those two are completed, you can cast on the other two sets of stitches to make the other two sides and just seam them down the middle (which will be along the diagonal). Since you will be turning your work, make the even numbered rows the right side and the odd numbered rows the wrong side. On the wrong side rows, you will exchange purls for knits and knits for purls. You will also work those rows in reverse order, although they are for the most part the same going from either direction because they are mirrored.
I went ahead and converted the pattern for you so that you won’t have to figure it all out. You can just follow this as written for working on straight needles.

Mama! WoW! you are an angel!
This blanket is soooo beautiful. Can only knit on 2 needles and I know I would be to stupid to be able to follow those directions. Beautiful Beautiful work.Do you have anyother patterns that would be so nice.
Thanks
Jan
I don’t have any lace baby blanket patterns that aren’t in the round like this, yet, but I add new patterns frequently. Check back from time to time. I will be adding some textured baby blanket patterns soon.
I like this pattern, however I was concerned with how the opposite side looks. I like baby blankets that do not have a distinct front or back. Do you have any lace ones similar?
It is really hard with knit lace to not have a front/back distinction. There are some reversible knit patterns, but usually they are more simple knit/purl patterns. I find more reversible patterns in crochet.
Neat and thanks.
How can I get the pattern without all those comments
There is a print icon at the top of the pattern you can use to print just the pattern.
The blanket looks so beautiful. You are so kind to give us so much information to convert the pattern. Thank you
In reading the pattern, do I start the round and continue doing only stitches in parenthesis till the end of that section? Thank you
Exactly.
This is so beautiful! Can’t wait to get started. Love all the options
Mary
This is so beautiful! Can’t wait to get started. Love having options on sizes.
Mary
Mama – What about us BIG babies??? This would be just beautiful for our new condo in Myrtle Beach. Can you provide info on the “rate of decrease?” It appears that there there is a one stich difference.
The size can be increased by adding any multiple of 24 to each side. On the rounds with decreases, there are 8 decreases – 2 at each corner. Every fourth round is not decreased. Was that what you are asking?
I keep getting 16 stitches at the end of 2nd round.i have 179 &each gap is13 stitches.what is wrong?please help.
I have counted the sts they r179 which is correct ,I have counted all the stitches ,they r all correct.k2tog k9(k3 yok3sk2pk3yo)repeat()I still have16 sts the end???Help?
How many stitches did you initially cast on for each side? What are you referring to as the gap that is 13 stitches?
183 four sides.m wrong about 13 sts they were 11between sk2ps stuck in second round,!
So after round one, you would have 181 on each side since there was a decrease on each side of each corner.
Rnd 2: k2tog, k9, (k3, yo, k3, sk2p, k3, yo) across to last 14 stitches before marker, k12, ssk
Uses: 2 9 (3, 0, 3, 3, 3, 0 ) 12, 2
Results: 1 9 (3, 1, 3, 1, 3, 1 ) 12, 1
For this size, the pattern of 12 stitches is repeated 13 times so 156 stitches in the repeat section.
Uses: 2+9+156+12+2 = 181
Results: 1+9+156+12+1 = 179
Does this help sort out what is happening?
What do you mean about “magic loop”? What is “DK weight baby yarn” I think the blanket is beautiful and can’t wait to try it? Thank you
A magic loop is a method of knitting small things like baby hats and socks in the round with a long circular needle instead of using double pointed needles. I recommend this site for information on the magic loop method: http://weebleknits.net/mloop.html
DK weight baby yarn is lighter than worsted but just slightly heavier than sport. A couple of popular examples are Bernat Softee Baby and Lion Brand BabySoft.
Do you cast on four different sections separately on the circular needles? I don’t know how else you would be able to gauge the amount of yarn needed. This looks like a beautiful blanket.
It’s one continuous cast on with just markers to separate the four sections. I assume the yarn needed you are talking about is the yarn for the tail of the long tail cast on. With casting on that much, you definately don’t want to underestimate and come out short. I usually estimate at 3 times finished length, which in this case is all four sides of the blanket. I have also heard of estimating by allowing an inch per stitch.
If you don’t want to waste any yarn and will be using more than one ball for the project, I just read this article with a cool long tail method: http://katesaid.wordpress.com/2008/12/29/an-even-better-long-tail-cast-on-trick/
I love this blanket. I have started it for a new grandbaby that is coming in August.
I used a knitted cast on. Hope that is o.k. That way I didn’t waste any yarn and was sure to have enough for the cast on.
Can’t wait to see the finished blanket!
I am on the second part of round 28 and now the knitting is horribly twisted and I can’t get it untwisted on the circular needle. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks for any help you can give me!
Oh no! I hope that doesn’t mean that the original join was twisted but that is what it sounds like.
I don’t know of any cure for that. On a bottom up poncho I made one time I realized it was twisted after a few rows and chose to leave it in, made a twist and knitted over it so that there was alway a little twist in the bottom border, but after 28 rows, I don’t think you’d want to leave a twist in there like that. I’m so sorry. I don’t know of a solution other than starting over. I would just caution everyone reading this to be very very careful with that join. I usually check a few times around when making the join and after the first couple of rows to make sure I don’t have a twist after my poncho experience.
Ouch! I did a Moebius scarf and wound up with an extra twist … my friend liked it that way so I sent it to her, error and all.
However, the next time I wanted a Moebius, I knit a straight scarf and then sewed together the two ends in Moebius style. Who would know!
But you’re going to have to frog — no way out of that, Linda.
Frogging gives me opportunities to learn.
This pattern is amazing because I just learned to mitre corners yesterday! I was a little thrown by how many stitches are in the cast on though. I like to read the comments and questions of others to figure out what I don’t understand. Thank you Jesus for the internet! While I read and pondered on that said number it came to me that you’re starting on the outside and working your way to the middle by using decreases instead of from the middle out using increases. Thus the center is at the bottom. I was like “What?????” Thanks for sharing this pattern. I’m definetly going to try it.
Thank you for this pattern – I am going to try it for sure – I get tired of starting at the center with very few stitches, and then having to go until 1 round takes forever. Starting at the outside and going in will make the blanket SEEM like it is going faster.
thank you for all the explanations. you are a very talented pattern maker and knitter to be so clear in your explanations. thank you for sharing your patterns
I have only knitted a couple of things, but am an avid crocheter. Do you know of anything similar that i would be able to crochet? It is a beautiful pattern.
Thanks
I did some poking around in Ravelry and did find one crochet pattern that is a similar concept:
http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/blanket-to-crochet
This one isn’t as close, but free:
http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/us/pattern.php?id=4576&lang=us
It is a beautiful pattern. I am a little confused as to how to start.How many stitches do I cast on? What does cast on in 4sets mean? If I am doing medium, do I cast on 135 times 4 leaving a marker after each 135th stitch?
Please help me understand as I want to knit this Blanket for my granddaughter due in September.
thank you
You have it absolutely correct. There are 135 stitches for each side. You cast on all four sides with the stitch markers between to mark the corners.
i love this! do u have this charted? i am not fond of all the written out directions, gives me a migraine!
I don’t currently have it charted, but I think I can do that pretty quickly. If I can do that in the next couple of days, I will post it and let you know.
I prefer not to use the magic loop method. Rather I’ll just switch needles with smaller cable lengths as I’ve got a range of them in size 6. Which cable length would you start with for the various finished sizes. This pattern is so beautiful I just have to make it!
Start with the biggest you have for any of the sizes. Even the smallest size, you are beginning with 60″ of stitches.
I did what you are going to do and just switched small circumference needles as long as I could. I only used the magic loop for the very center.
Going to start today! Does it require any special blocking needs?
Really just depends on the yarn. I made mine in a polished cotton and didn’t block it at all.
I have just finished the blanket and am very pleased with it – thank you so much for the pattern. I used a circular needle for the first time but when I got to the very middle I struggled to make the stitches. I was dividing the stitches in half, knitting one section then pushing the stitches round and knitting the second section but when I only had about 10 stitches left between markers I couldn’t manouevre the needles and had to change to double pointed needles. Is it possible to knit the whole blanket on the circular needle?
Ha! Ha!I figured it out thanks. And also realised I’d knitted the whole blanket with my needles back to front! Never mind. It still looks great and I’ll know next time.
hi mama hope you can help me with the doily patern it is knitted in a circle , when it is done it is a round doily. thanks betty
Beautiful, looks do able, would be a lovely gift.
My first grandchild will be draped in this afghan coming home and at christening!!! Thank You it is just beautiful.
Thisblanket is so pretty I wanted to knit it for my Great neice one She is due in April 2013

Tiffany:
I love the lacy baby blanket. I would like to try and make it. However I am a beginner at knitting. I can do the simple knit and purl but that is about as far as it goes. If I can watch someone make something I can follow the directions. I do not know how to read a pattern and follow it. Do you have an online tutorial for this lovely blanket? If not do you have an easy tutorial for learning to make socks? I crochet but still have difficulty with the heel and the toes in the socks. Thank you for your help.
This blanket is advanced and not a good project to attempt without some knitting experience. I don’t have a tutorial for it because it would frankly be an hour long.
Here is one site with a series of sock tutorial videos. There are many others and lots of different methods of making socks. You can use a search site like Google to find many different kinds of sock tutorials.

This is a great webpage! You have answered and explained so many of my years of frustrated knitting questions. Thank you.
Hi I love this blanket and am planning to knit it in DK 4 ply…..I see many people went from DK 8ply to WW. What would my yardage requirement be if I went to a DK 4 ply in the 28 or 32″ size?
Thanks!

I will try to make an educated guess. What is the gauge given on the yarn? What size needles does the yarn recommend and what size will you be using?
Hi Mama….
I made the hat to match, now working on the big size ….third time starting out!! Any tips on how to not get the thing twisted?? THANKS!!
Not really other than to triple check it before you go too far. That is the worst thing about going from the outside in.
Hi Mama,
I made this blanket last year. After a few false starts, (twisted join in the round) I prevailed!
This pattern is thoroughly enjoyable to knit. It’s the only baby blanket I’ve done that hasn’t bored me to death!
I love this pattern and am casting on for another one today.
