The alpaca blanket „Oriental Grace“ was my first jacquard pattern project in this format and at the same time my masterpiece. Until the completion of this magnificent blanket, I did not know if it was possible to knit such a complex and sophisticated pattern on the one hand, and on the other hand to present it in a knitting pattern for others to follow.

The challenge succeeded, and many more beautiful patterns followed. Crucial to the success of such work is learning the jacquard knitting technique, knitting with 2 colors at the same time. In all my instructions there is a section where I explain this technique with the help of photos. I work in the so-called „continental“ knitting style, namely with both color threads on the left hand.

On this website I have put together a small series of photo and video tutorials on this subject, you can find them here.
