Mexican Blanket
The iconic Mexican blanket, commonly known as a sarape, has a rich history in Mexican culture, serving various purposes for centuries as a blanket, wall covering, tablecloth, rug, and poncho. Unlike the rebozo, which is traditionally a women's accessory, the sarape has predominantly been worn by men. This beautifully knit blanket features designs inspired by the striking striped and geometric patterns that are synonymous with contemporary Mexican culture.
Introducing this unique pattern as part of the “Purposeful Patterns” initiative - a thoughtful series of designs aimed at supporting various noble causes. With each purchase of the Mexican Blanket pattern, $1 will be donated to the Mexico Earthquake Initiative by Direct Relief, a trusted organization dedicated to improving the health and quality of life for those impacted by poverty and emergencies in the region. By choosing this pattern, you’re not just enhancing your knitting repertoire but also making a positive impact on the lives of others.
