704 Thora Blanket - Knitting Pattern for Babies and Home in Valley Yarns Stockbridge
$5.99
The Valley Yarns Thora Blanket is a beautifully intricate and richly patterned throw, perfect for both seasoned knitters and enthusiastic beginners. This stunning blanket is crafted using playful modular parquet squares, thoughtfully designed to be picked up and knit from their neighboring squares. While this method offers an engaging knitting experience, be prepared to deal with numerous ends to weave in, especially if you opt for the smallest size. To simplify your finishing work, you can either use your tapestry needle to neatly sew in the ends or carry the yarn strands loosely across the wrong side of the blanket before sewing a fabric backing to conceal them.
Finished Measurements: This versatile blanket comes in three sizes: 24 x 32”, 40 x 48”, and 56 x 64”, with the sample shown in the smallest size for visual reference.
