Knitter's Choice Striped Blanket Bundle
The free Knitter’s Choice Striped Blanket pattern, designed by Ksenia Naidyon, invites you to put your heart into your knitting! The project starts with our beautiful Yonder. A real knitter’s yarn, it is 50% highland wool and 50% alpaca, with all the qualities that touch a knitter’s heart. Ksenia has you cast on four identical squares, each knit in garter stitch (all knits, no purls!) with three-color stripes. By rotating the squares, you get to choose how to sew them together into your own composition. Ksenia suggest four layouts, but there are even more possibilities… Let your yarn guide you and follow your heart! All that's left is to pick your palette! We've gotten you started by putting together nine Knitter’s Choice Striped Blanket Bundles in two different sizes!
