The Botanical Blanket exudes springtime with its delicate lace stitches and large centered blossom. It is worked from the center out using a mix of Wildflower and Spun Cloud yarns creating a large blossom that expands into simple lace, ending with a botanical border. Its hexagonal shape is wonderful for a lap blanket, for a decorative piece for your couch or bed, or for a baby blanket. This pattern is perfect for all levels of knitters as the lace is geared towards a beginner level yet the different stitch patterns keep you entertained.
