We now offer handy kits of this pattern. All kits include enough yarn to make this beautiful blanket along with the pattern, a limited edition button badge and a fab project bag to keep it all safe. Happy knitting!
The Fall into Winter pattern is designed by our chum Fay Dashper-Hughes. Click here if you’d like to buy just the pattern, without the yarn.
This lap blanket is quick to crochet, and warm without being overly heavy. It was designed to make use of the aran/worsted weight 100g and 25g skeins of Harvest Hues wool that are available from John Arbon Textiles.
The blanket uses simple crochet stitches to make four linen stitch panels with rows worked across two panel edges, forming a right-angled corner. The panels are slip stitch crocheted together before the double crochet border is added.
John Arbon Textiles Harvest Hues, Worsted
kit includes 6 full skeins and 8 mini skeins in contrast colours.
