Sharing is caring!

The Crema is an 8″ blanket square knit with a simple repeat. The textured purl triangle pattern creates a cozy worsted weight square for your blanket.

This blanket square pattern features knit and purl stitches arranged to create an easy 8 row repeat. The triangular texture creates a diamond lattice pattern throughout the square that’s mesmerizing to the eye.

This simple knit square design pairs well with others so it’s perfect to use with a wide variety of blanket squares.

  1. Hi Crystal
    I’m totally new to knitting and would like to make a larger project using this pattern. Could you possibly tell me the Cast On “multiple of the number of stitches” plus “number of stitches” I occasionally see in other knitting patterns description.
    Thank you

  2. Hi Angel,
    This information is under “Adjustments” above. The stitch multiple is 6 for this pattern. So you can cast on 36, 42, 48… 60, 66, etc. Any number that divides by 6 evenly. I hope that helps.
    Thanks,
    Crystal
