Corner To Corner Herringbone Knit Blanket

"Whenever I make a blanket, I always look for a pattern or technique that spares me from calculating the number of stitches I need to cast on to get the right width. That’s why I prefer blankets that either start from the center like Granny Square patterns, or that are worked from corner to corner. I got the inspiration for this pattern when I started making a baby blanket for a friend. I really wanted to use the Herringbone stitch which is so elegant and unique, so I came up with this corner to corner version."

Notes- The blanket can be made as a square and as a rectangle (see notes in the pattern).
- I suggested using a bigger needle size than is suggested for DK yarn, in order to make the blanket fluffy and nice and to emphasize the “bones” in the pattern.
