I need some help with this blanket. I finally figured out the pattern but need to know the pattern repeat so that I can make it wider. Has anyone figured this out yet?

Hi shoff158 3226089! If you scroll down to almost the bottom of the blogger's post, you will see a link for an English version of the pattern. The link says "In EnglishBabyBlanketNomad." Hope this helps! -Editors of AllFreeKnitting

Have you checked that English version.... not at all a good translation!

This is such an interesting stitch pattern, thanks for sharing. I see that the size 75 cm square translates to about 30" so its the perfect size for a bassinet or to swaddle a new born. The link for instructions leads to a French site however, if you scroll about 1/3 of the way down the page, you will find a link to the instructions written in English. These instructions are in a PDF file so they should be easy to print.
