Sunrise blanket

Introducing a beautifully crafted blanket inspired by a stunning painting created by my 11-year-old daughter. This unique blanket features an elegant oval shape, measuring 67 inches (168 cm) in length and 56 inches (140 cm) in width. Designed to be both seamless and completely reversible, this blanket showcases intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail. The heart of the blanket is made using the entrelac technique, creating a visually stunning texture that adds depth and warmth. Surrounding this centerpiece is a carefully knitted border crafted with short rows, allowing for a clean finish without the need to hide wraps in the garter stitch. Plus, you won't have to cut the yarn when changing colors, making the process easier and more enjoyable! For this project, I used the fantastic “Peace Fleece” yarn, a blend of 75% merino wool and 25% mohair, which offers both comfort and durability. Each skein provides 200 yards (180 meters) and weighs 115 grams (4 ounces), making it perfect for a cozy blanket. The colors used in this design truly bring the piece to life: 1 skein in the vibrant Chickie Masla color, 2 skeins in the bold Firebird Orange color, 6 skeins in the soft Krushchev Corn color, and 4 skeins in the rich Blue Jay color. Whether you're an experienced knitter or a passionate beginner, this blanket pattern is an excellent choice to elevate your crafting skills. Not only does it serve as a practical and beautiful addition to any home, but it also makes for a heartfelt gift that showcases the beauty of creativity.
