Description
Knit a unique blanket that reflects your favourite landscape with this original pattern collection. Designer Anne Le Brocq has created 50 knitting pattern designs for different kinds of landscape and weather features, so whether you live near the mountains or by the sea, you can create a bespoke blanket.
The collection includes written instructions and numbered charts for each of the 50 landscape swatches, as well as stunning photography showing the inspiration for each design. You can knit individual swatches and join them together to make a blanket, or use the swatches as vertical and horizontal repeats to create a single blanket. The author also showcases seven finished blankets to illustrate the possibilities.
With a wide range of yarns, including gradient yarns, Anne Le Brocq demonstrates how colour and fibre can change the effect of the finished blanket. The solid colour changes emphasize the different landscape features, while the gradient yarns create a more subtle effect. This collection is perfect for beginners and experienced knitters alike, offering a unique way to express your love of the natural world.
