Luvina Blanket

Named in memory of my grandmother who always said you could never be too warm, Luvina was a lover of flowers, especially flowering vines which twined up over her patio creating a lovely, cool, and fragrant oasis of dappled sunshine. Two sizes are available: the small blanket is perfect as a lap blanket or to fit nicely into a crib or stroller; the large blanket is a great size for a throw. Both blankets are made up of individual squares which are knit from the center out in a floral and lace pattern beginning with a pinhole cast on. Links to helpful videos are included. Pattern includes both charted and written instructions. Squares are seamed together after blocking. This project works well for using remnants or mini/advent skeins since each square only uses 35 yds/15g for the main color and 21 yds/9g for the border. **Two sizes** Small: 30” x 36” (Large: 50” x 64”) **Yarn** Used in samples shown: Sew Happy Jane Delightful DK – 231 yards/100g **Yardage** Main Color (MC) – 6 (9) colors used; approx 35 yds/15g per square; total approx 1,050 (2,205) yds/450 (945)g Border Color (BC) – approx 21 yds/9g per square; total approx 630 (1,323) yds/270 (567)g **Small blanket colors** (2025 Club Colors) 1 skein of each MC; 3 skeins of BC MC1 – July MC2 – August MC3 – September MC4 – October MC5 – November MC6 – December BC – June **Large blanket colors** 1 skein of each MC; 6 skeins of BC MC1 – Rainy Day MC2 – Thanks For Noticing MC3 – Rabbit’s Garden Path MC4 – December 2022 MC5 – A Tight Place MC6 – Tiddely Pom MC7 – Sly Fox MC8 – Expotition MC9 – Hundred Acre Wood BC – Ross Poldark **Small blanket:** 5 squares of each color plus 1 border color for the edging and seaming. **Large blanket:** 7 squares of each color plus 1 border color for the edging and seaming. **Gauge** 19 sts + 28 rows = 4” in St st (after blocking) **Needles** Size US 6 (4 mm); circular needle with 36-40” cord if using magic loop method or 5 DPNs or size to obtain gauge *Needle size is not vital but a change in gauge will affect yardage used.*
