    Most of my life I have been ambivalent

    about babies. I was quite surprised that


    turning 30 and meeting a handsome man
    who wants kids has changed my outlook...
    Now I’m having vivid daydreams about a future
    that includes little ones, and my fantasies have
    begun to marterialize in knitting!
    Vivid is lace square that can be knit in any
    weight of yarn. I made a baby blanket size
    in a range of bright primaries.

    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: Yarn amounts given are for 1 square


    sock or 4-ply: 70 yds per square
    DK weight: 100 yds per square
    worsted / aran: 130 yds per square
    (baby blanket shown in Jamieson & Smith Jumper
    Weight, 20 squares, weighs 225 g, in colours: 23, 91,
    121, 125, 93, 1403, 9113, 1280, 75, FC34, 132, FC41, 142)
    Gauge: I recommend that you knit a square
    using suggested needles, block it and see if you
    like the finished size and density.
    Suggested needles:
    sock or 4-ply: US # 5 / 3.75 mm
    DK weight: US # 7 / 4.5 mm
    worsted / aran: US # 9 / 5.5 mm
    Notions: stitch markers, darning needle
