Da Luxe Blanket
Da Luxe Blanket is a highly entertaining seamless knit. First four modular quilt squares are made. These squares start from the center out and have wedges that are connected with Laura’s signature modular move. Once the four squares are done, they are linked together by a center and connectors in a similar manner to the squares
The pattern includes a detailed video tutorial for building the squares, along with yarn and color advice. Written for both fingering and DK weight yarn this blanket will have you amused from start to finish!
