The Diagonal Lace 6″ Square is a perfect blanket square for beginner knitters that uses easy stitches to create a beautifully textured lace pattern. This is quick to stitch up and super fun to play around with colors. I did chunky stripes for mine, but you can play around and do a solid square, or lots of stripes too!
This pattern is part of the Harmony Blanket 2018 KAL. Want to join? Visit the Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1224450260982937/
