Before we look at the pattern Yvonne has set us for this week let’s look at how a couple of the blankets are getting on. This is R’s lovely shades of pink blanket -she added a cream accent this week.
…and my blanket, which used fawn yarn for this one, here in close up
Yvonne had explained how this one, if knitted over a bigger area forms pleats like an accordion. You can see this just starting, even over the 10 rows we knitted,
And now for this week.
Yvonne writes, “Hi guys. Hope you’re all well and enjoying this beautiful blanket.”
” This week is another lacy one but it also resembles waves and I expect with the weather we have had these will be less choppy haha! – Not too difficult I hope. We have had the abbreviations before which are
YO = yarn over the needle
K2tog = knit 2 together
Here we go.”
Week 12
Row 1. K
Row 2. P
Row 3. *(k2tog) 3 times, (YO, k1) 6 times (k2tog) 3 times. Repeat from * to end
Row 4. K
Repeat rows 1-4 again then 1 & 2
That’s all there is to it and please remember your garter st border at each end.
Until next week, happy knitting.

I’ve had a go and it helped to remember that over the course of the pattern you need to work equal numbers of k2 tog, (which decreases a stitch) and YO k1, which increases a stitch, I love these waves!
Keep sending in those photos!
