We now offer handy kits of this blanket. All kits include enough yarn to make this glorious blanket along with a limited edition button badge and a fab project bag to keep it all safe. Happy knitting!
The Pomona Blanket pattern is designed by Sonja Bargielowska, one of our splendid Mill Folk. We don’t stock the pattern, but you can buy it directly hare, on Ravelry.
This log cabin blanket is great fun to knit as it is made up of lots of modular blocks, which make it zip along nicely. Pomona is also perfect for either mini skeins, or odds and ends. All those blocks are then seamed with a wide edging to ground all those playful colours.
The pattern includes instructions on how to spit (wet) splice your ends together neatly when changing colour to minimize the number of ends that need weaving in.
