Wool and the Gang | Cosy Little Blanket Kit

Description

Unbelievably soft, irresistibly squishy, fabulously contemporary, and suitable even for absolute beginners; this Cosy Little Blanket knitting kit made from Alpachino Merino blanket exceeds all expectations. With three colour block stripes and good old garter stitch, you can make this work with any decor, and it makes movie night so much more comfy!

For the pink sample, you will get similar results with Ivory, Pink Sherbet, and Cameo Rose. (For a solid blanket, choose the same colour for each option!) The finished blanket will be 70cm x 90cm (27.5″ x 35.4″) at the stated gauge.
