ACCESSORY
The blanket is constructed from
motifs that are worked lat then
stitched together at the end.
Most of the blanket is made
from three-colour hexagons that
use very basic intarsia. The
hexagons are squared off using
smaller shaped panels, and the
blanket is inished with a simple
crocheted border.Start knitting...
