In this post you can find the pattern and video tutorial for Part 6 of my Enigma Blanket design. Part 6 is a bit of a déjà vu of part 5, we are making similar rows but with more repeats. And yes, we are making picots again! Voor Nederlands, zie aub DEZE post.

Materials

You will need 7 colors of any yarn you like to make your Enigma Blanket. I have designed 4 colorways in 3 different yarn weights to inspire you for your own blanket. You can use one of my colorways or choose your own. My colorways are the original Flower Field in Scheepjes Stone Washed, and Flower Field in Scheepjes Colour Crafter, and the two new colorways Vintage in Scheepjes Scrumptious and Sunset Sky in Scheepjes Cotton 8. You can find information about color numbers and yarn amounts HERE. You can buy your supplies from any yarn shop close to you, but you can also buy a full kit with everything you need from my webshop.

I also have yarn kits available for all 4 colorways of Enigma Blanket in my shop. The mandala kits include everything you need to make these mandalas including the pattern, yarn and the mandala rings.

Enigma Blanket Pattern – Part 6

This pattern uses US crochet terminology. If you are more familiar with UK terminology, please refer back to this overview for the most common terms.

The triangles are joined at the beginning and end of each row to the sts of Round 53. The triangle is worked from the center of Round 53, outward, working the stitches of the triangle itself in the stitches of the previous row. The chains worked between the sl sts at the end of a row do not count as sts. The stitch count given is for one edge of the triangle only.

Tip: Mark the first and last st on each row to find them more easily in the next row.

Tip: Check that you have 43 unworked stitches either side of the triangle on Round 53 before starting this part.
