Both the substance and the look of this design were inspired by amethyst crystals. The quintessence of mindfulness, they are associated with clarity, serenity, and calm. Find comfort and coziness after a long day by wrapping yourself in a handknit blanket. Cuddle under the warm folds of soft fabric to read a couple of pages of a favorite book, enjoy a mug of hot chocolate, write several words in a journal, or have a restful nap.

The blanket features diamonds of two sizes encased in the moss stitch edging. All stitch patterns use only knit and purl stitches, and look polished from both sides. Easy to memorize, this project is perfect for meditative knitting sessions and beginner friendly, too. As the borders are worked as you go, the finishing is minimal.

The pattern is written for a generously sized throw, but the size of a finished blanket is completely up to you. Detailed instructions on size adjustments are provided. Directions are both charted and written out. This pattern was originally published in Making Magazine - Dusk. It’s now available for individual purchase directly from the designer.
