Vivid is lace patchwork that can be knit in any weight of yarn. Vivid is knit one square at a time, then seamed together at the end. Each square is knit from the centre outward to the garter stitch border. Lace is described both in line-by-line text instructions and by a chart.

Sizing: The pattern can be knit in any weight of yarn, and you may make more or less squares for a smaller or larger finished blanket. Squares will measure approximately 7.5 (9, 10.5) inches square for sock (DK, aran) weight yarns.

The baby-blanket sized sample is made in sock weight yarn and is 30 x 37.5 inches (20 squares).

Materials: 

sock or 4-ply: 70 yds per square 

DK weight: 100 yds per square
