The Golden Leaves is a beautiful lace blanket pattern that is ideal for intermediate-level knitters who want to challenge themselves with a project that requires attention to detail but isn't overly complicated.
My blanket measures approximately 32 x 40 inches, weighs 400g (1100-1200m), and was knitted using DK yarn and US size 6 knitting needles. You can use any yarn you have to knit it, but I think the most suitable options are DK and aran weight yarns.
