Fair Isle Flair Blanket

As yarn lovers, we all find ourselves with leftover bits of yarn, often in the same colors but from different dye lots. Those leftover half skeins or even smaller amounts can feel impossible to part with, and you may think they're not enough to create anything substantial, especially a cozy blanket. But with our Fair Isle Flair pattern, you’ll discover that these remnants can shine! Some of the delightful colorwork sections require as little as 8 yards (7 meters) of yarn, making it the perfect project for utilizing those pesky scraps.

You can choose a bold main color and four vibrant contrast colors, or mix things up by working each pattern repeat in a different main color or dye lot, combined with various contrast colors; the creative possibilities are truly endless. Each choice you make allows you to play with texture and hue, bringing your unique vision to life.
