This pattern will make a textured mesh blanket that is about 29" wide after blocking. You can also make it wider and longer to make a throw (lightweight and cozy, great for long flights). This pattern would also work as a head scarf (just fold diagonally and tie it around!).
Yarn
Fable Handknit Pure Baby Alpaca, 100% baby alpaca, color #04, approx. 6-7 skeins.
Needles
4 mm circular needle, 24" or longer
Gauge
21 sts x 16 rows on 4mm needles in stitch pattern
Gauge is not crucial for this project.

Note: When working knit stitches from *, insert right needle as if to knit, but wrap yarn over and under right needle. For yo, wrap yarn over and under, instead of brining yarn to front.

This pattern is very nice! Thanks for being generous with your patterns!
I like the blanket. What size needles was it knit on and is there a multiple sort of thing to follow??

Lovely stitch texture! Thanks for sharing the pattern.
That's a great stitch pattern! It also works really well with 2 colors.
How would you make this an afghan? I am sorry if I am not dolloeing your pattern but I have been up since 5 this morning...

Depending on how wide you want your afghan, you can double or triple the number of stitches to cast on and make it as long as you like.
