Winter Harvest Blanket – by Helena Timms
A colourful blanket of squares with a snowflake & flower lace pattern. Each square is knit in the round from the centre out, with short rows for the
corners. The blanket is then seamed with either a garter block or a knitted on border. Available in 2 sizes in 4ply or Worsted yarn, but can be adapted to
any yarn weight or blanket size. Recommended for intermediate knitters.
