Shadow knitting creates an illusion of blocks of colours. The way it forms is by working 2-row stripes with offset garter ridges. In the Jewel Blanket the pattern created forms subtle diamond shapes across the blanket.
It is knitted in one piece (except for the side borders), beginning with the bottom border. The borders are worked in garter stitch and shaped to form mitred corners which are flat-seamed to create a neat finish. The side borders are picked up and knitted out.
The pattern stitch can be worked from the chart or the written instructions.
The Jewel Blanket requires average to moderate knitting skills and is suitable for advanced beginners and above. It does require a level of concentration when working the wrong side rows however every right side row is a knit-stitch row only.
