The top blanket is knitted in a rectangular pattern, two adjacent squares at once, changing colours halfway along the row. There are seven 'strips' in all, crocheted together and then the edge crocheted to finish it off.
The blanket above is a different pattern, just to make knitting them a little bit more interesting.
This one has slightly wider strips, and just one 'bar' at a time. There are 5 strips so not as much joining later on. I've adapted a quilt binding strategy and the outer edging is made up of bits of wool which are too short to make a row of knitting. I can't bear to throw anything away!
In the background is the arm of my magnifying lamp for handquilting and the roll of upholsterer's wadding which I use as the filling in a quilt sandwich. Both of these take a bit of carting upstairs and then down again when I need them so I leave them in my lounge and don't 'see' them any more...
Any ideas, anyone, of how I can pattern more blankets? Nothing complicated....

Nice work!
You know me, Silve, I love the stripy ones. I must make one, I found my box of knitting needles yesterday, while moving some unopened moving boxes. Just need to collect some wool now!
