This lace blanket manages to incorporate the sophisticated elegance of lace while maintaining an overall unisex appearance. The stitch pattern is easy to memorize, making this a quick and straightforward knit. It would be best to use a blockable yarn (i.e. a natural animal fiber) so that the lace pattern will open up during the blocking process.
Skills used are YO, k2tog and SSK.
Both charted and written instructions are included, as well as a tip about customizing the size of the blanket to make it larger or smaller.
