Step-by-step pattern
1. Cast on 220 stitches with color A.
2. Knit in garter stitch (knit every row) for 40 cm.
3. Change to color B and continue for another 45 cm.
4. Change to color C and knit the last 55 cm.
5. Close all the points loosely.
Maintain even tension when changing colors. For a more polished result, always bring the threads along the edge and twist them slightly when changing colors to avoid gaps.
Color combinations
- Natural: linen + beige + cocoa brown.
- Autumnal: terracotta + mustard + taupe.
- Soft: old rose + cream + pearl gray.
- Modern: medium gray + petrol blue + off-white.
Alternate stripes of different thicknesses for a more organic effect or play with gradients of the same range.
Lock and care
- Wash the blanket with cold water (max. 30 °C) and neutral soap.
- Drain it gently without twisting.
- Spread it out on a flat surface (towel, mat or protected bed) and adjust the corners to the desired measurements.
- Allow to dry completely before use.
Idealium Tip: Store the blanket folded instead of hanging it to prevent it from becoming deformed under its own weight.
