A large blanket made with the Noro Iro I had after unravelling Kake's Noro Coat - The Sequel.

I made it in four quarters using 7mm needles and the Lion Brand diagonal tweed blanket pattern (see BugMeNot for username/password), amended like so:

• Cast on 5 st
• Row 1: K to end
• Subsequent rows: S1P, K2, yo, K to end
• Repeat until 1/8 of all yarn is used (or 1/2 if you're not making 4 quarters)
• Subsequent rows: S1P, K1, SSK, yo, SSK, K to end
• When 7 st remain: S1P, K1, SSK, SSK, K
• Cast off remaining 5 st

Abbreviations:

• K = knit
• st = stitch
• S1P = slip 1 purlwise
• SSK = slip 1 knitwise, slip another 1 knitwise, insert left needle into front of both slipped stitches, knit these 2 slipped stitches together
• yo = yarn over
