German - With many thanks to Cornelia Capito
To make a blanket of 1020 (34 x 30) squares in mostly 4ply/fingering weight yarn I used:Ģ6 x Off White - 02 (2 of which were used for the border)Īpproximately 800g/3,200m (3,500yards) of various 4ply/fingering weight sock yarns in a range of colours.ģmm (C/D USA) - Or appropriate hook size for your yarn choice.Ī full pattern including clearly written instructions.
See ‘Making a Battenberg Blanket’ on page 4 for more information. This pattern uses a basic motif with a simple border pattern and a joining method which is a new technique, however a full video tutorial is included.Īny yarn type or weight can be used to make a blanket in this style and the yardage amounts required will depend on the weight of yarn you choose and the size of blanket that you require. So I made a border of simple stitches to match, with a dusting of picots along the edges. The cake version comes wrapped in a simple marzipan coat, with sugar sprinkles. This arrangement of squishy colourful squares, alternated with a simple squares in a neutral shade made me think of the chequerboard pink and yellow sponge cubes of a Battenberg Cake, a UK teatime favourite from my childhood days.
