After my mum made a couple of these baby blankets, I thought I'd give it a go.

@Pearl
, that's a lovely blanket! I would love to try something like that, but the colourwork would defeat me.
Very unusual.

I don't do colourwork either,
@b15erk
. You just don't work two stitches on the coloured row, just slip them across for a few rows. It really is easy.

I've just watched the video
@Pearl
and it does look do-able. Hmmm, something I may try I think...

I knit a honeycomb pattern in a mohair jumper back in olden days (late teens and didn't have enough of my main colour so had to bulk it out
). As

That's a beautiful blanket. I love that stitch - it's much easier to get that effect in knitting than it is in crochet (annoying for me as I don't knit any more).
So pretty though.
