Vuokko

Vuokko is a huge lace blanket to cuddle under on a cold day. It starts off with a magic circle cast-on and is then worked in the round with four different lace patterns, doubling the number of stitches between each. Then, you have a decision to make! You can either finish off the round blanket with a sideways lace, decreasing the edge stitches as you go. Or you can shape the circle into a square and add tassels at the corners. Either way, it will be fabulous! **. : Size : .** 1 size, large.
