The Winter Blues Aran Blanket/Bed Runner

Aran style blanket/throw/bed runner. One size but can be adjusted depending on personal taste or bed size. It is made in 3 separate panels, then sewn together. This means you can knit each panel on straight needles and it is more manageable as it grows! I find it can be more difficult using circular needles with lots of stitches/patterns. Also if you make a mistake it is easier to correct!! I find the mattress stitch amazing for seaming panels together. Tassels are made and sewn in place (optional). I used an acrylic/wool mix yarn as this can be machine washed on low temperatures, but you can use any aran/worsted weight yarn. It knits up quicker than double knit and is also very warm and cosy.
