Ugly Blanket

The name of this blanket, *The Embrace Blanket*, is given with the utmost love and care. During a particularly busy period in my life, when my mind was constantly racing and I felt overwhelmed by work commitments, I sought a creative outlet to help me decompress and clear my head. As always, I turned to my passion—knitting. I had a massive stash of yarn, and I discovered that the long, repetitive rows of simple knit stitches were a fantastic way to enter a meditative state of flow.

What’s great about this blanket is that using leftover yarn allows for endless creativity. By joining the yarn wherever the balls end, I created beautiful, mottled stripes that add visual interest and character. As I worked through the pattern, I experimented with various color layouts, and I encourage you to do the same! The flexibility of this design means you can mix and match your favorite hues, making *The Embrace Blanket* truly unique. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced knitter looking for a relaxing project, this pattern is perfect for anyone wanting to create a cozy throw that embodies warmth and comfort.
