Mondrian inspired blankets

Inspired by the work of the dutch artist, Mondrian, these geometric blankets bring a pop of colour to any home.

Knit using DK /#3/light worsted yarn, this colorful pattern provides three sizes of blanket:

Baby: 36"x24"/90cm x 60cm Throw: 48"x36"/120cm x 90cm

Afghan: 72"x48"/180cm x 120cm

Each block is knit separately and then joined together. Using only garter stitch for the blocks it is really easy to make. You will need to keep your tension even throughout. Using different coloured yarns from the same manufacturer helps ensure even tension.

The blocks are joined using a three needle technique - perhaps a little tricky if you are a beginner knitter but once you have it mastered it is really quite straightforward. I have included full instructions.
