Blanket of Snow

This beautiful, wintry blanket is made in a “join as you go” fashion and is made up of only one snowflake motif. The motifs are joined together alternating right and wrong textured sides to create the illusion of different motifs. The gaps between the snowflakes are filled by working a few rounds directly onto the blanket, so although there are ends to weave in, the blanket itself requires no sewing and is seamless.

Finished Size: Each motif measures approx. 6” wide. Sample blanket measured 48” x 60”.
