Alpine Lap Blanket Knitting Pattern

Use DK yarn to knit Nicola Valiji's cosy blanket

This vibrant blanket is the perfect size for keeping your knees cosy on a winter’s night, while leaving your arms free for more knitting. It features six different squares made using a variety of stitch techniques, and there’s something for all skill levels. If you don’t fancy making a blanket, assemble a few of your favourite squares into a cushion cover or even a patch pocket on a cardi - go on, get creative!
