Another Tunisian Triangles Blanket. These 4 colors - 2 shades of blue, purple, green - were a curated set that I bought online because I thought it would work well with this triangle pattern. I used Tunisian Simple stitch because it is so simple, and I like the feel of it when complete. It works up quickly and produces a warm, snuggly blanket.
This blanket is knit using Good Old Fashioned Funky Prints teamed with a gentle baby pink, both DK ply. To complement the pastel tones I chose to knit a smaller size stitch count for the blocks/basketweave. It is knit on 6mm needles in four panels of 51sts, then crochet joined and bordered with a stronger candy pink DK. These gentle colourways are a far cry from my usual bold colour choices, but I really enjoyed the change.
Karen, I love to see the effects created by your different colour combinations, and this layout works really well. I'm inspired to try a double stranded blanket - how much of each yarn do you use? (Don't want to over-estimate and add even more to my stash of leftovers!)
Thank you Lesley. I buy 4 x 100g DK for each colour, which leaves a choice for border colour + possibly a hat or 2. Only 300g of each would leave you short in one direction or another. If doing in one piece you could do a contrast/different colour stripe or block at start + finish then buy less for the body..... Get me?
My actual blankets when completed + bordered weigh around 725-775g unless I've used aran which is a different ball game altogether.
You could choose to have one colour as your base then uses different ones for stripes for mass leftover use.
A different alternative is to plan joining + bordering you blanket with toning colour(s) which uses some of your leftovers too + could be an option to save you buying more than you really need to. I play all these games more or less every time I plan my next one.
