ABOUT
Perfect for gift-giving or when your living room just needs a simple refresh!
The Bannatyne Blanket is an easy level crochet pattern with a mix of basic stitches worked up in undulating rows resembling peaks and valleys. The textural interest provided by the dynamic mix of stitches brings a touch of elegance to this monochromatic throw. With just a two-row repeat, you’ll have this stitch pattern memorized in no time. The Bannatyne Blanket has a nice balance of being mindless enough for distracted crocheting yet detailed enough to keep your interest from start to finish. Worked up in super bulky weight yarn, you can have this blanket completed in just a few short crochet sessions.
Further personalize your Bannatyne Blanket by adding fringe, tassels, or pom poms to either end!
