The Joys of Spring Blanket Knitting Pattern Leaflet, designed by the talented Nicola Valiji of Knitola, is now currently available at Knitwell Wools.

This stunning blanket has been created in Woolcraft New Fashion DK using a selection of gorgeous pastel tones associated with the spring season and is made up of a combination of patterned and textured squares including birds, butterflies and flowers. (Detailed charts are included in the pattern leaflet to provide extra guidance.) Longer strips which incorporate chains of 3D flowers are used to divide the knitted squares and the blanket is finished with a lace style border.

The finished blanket will measure approximately 105cm x 98cm (including the border) and will suit an Advanced Knitter.
