It’s Free Pattern Friday!
Today, the Wraparound Blankie in Uptown DK Magix (pattern link).
You know those pretty balls of yarn that you look at and love, but you also think, “this looks neat, but what would I do with it?”
Voila. The Wraparound Blankie answers this question by pairing self-patterning Uptown DK Magix with solid Uptown DK to create mitered angles and panels bordered by coordinating bands of vibrant color.
The nice thing about self-patterning yarn is that you really don’t have to do much work to make a complex design. Pick two colors of the solid, two colors of the self-patterning, and go! This pattern is worked in pieces and seamed together, making it a good travel project. Sometimes it’s nice to be able to work on a blanket without actually having a full blanket on your lap.
We hope you enjoy this project, and have a great weekend.
Happy crafting!
