About this design

The dots are each about five blocks across, in four pastel colours, Rose, Aqua, Butter and Lavender, that rotate so no two neighbouring dots match. Alternate rows are offset by half a step, just like a printed polka dot fabric, and the background is Snow white. Every dot is the same small rounded shape, so after the first few you will know it by heart. It makes a bright, gender-neutral baby blanket or a playmat.

Size and yarn

The graph is 40 × 40 blocks and is worked in 79 diagonal rows from the bottom-right corner. With 2.5 cm blocks (worsted yarn and a 5 mm hook) it measures about 100 × 100 cm; with 2 cm blocks in DK yarn it is about 80 × 80 cm. The largest colour is Snow, with 1,101 of the 1,600 blocks. The colours are our own named shades, so choose the closest yarn you can buy, and weigh a ten-block swatch to turn the block counts into an accurate yarn amount. Use a firm white yarn, since the background makes up most of the blanket.
