Thistledown is light enough to be dispersed on the wind. But some of us sleep more soundly when snuggled by the heft of a weightier blanket. That close embrace can provide a gentle, constant pressure, producing a calming effect. We hope that this bulky throw that features a botanical thistle lace will bring you sweet dreams. whether it’s used for an afternoon nap or a good night’s sleep.

Each Thistle lace motif measures 3”/7 cm wide and 7¼”/18.4 cm tall when blocked.

To change the width of your blanket simply add or remove a lace repeat (a multiple of 10 sts). Changing the length can be accomplished by working fewer or more of the chart repeats. Wem recommend working the entire 28 row chart to ensure the fabric has the appropriate stretch to flex into the alternating points at the edge when blocked.
