This fabulous carnival inspired blanket was born from my love of visiting the Norfolk Broads. I visit every year and the colours in this blanket were sure to brighten every autumn day on the water. You could try something in your yarn stash the possibilities are endless. I’ve chosen Stylecraft Special DK because there are over 70 colours to choose from, its relatively cheap to make, machine washable and very soft but also hard wearing. You want a blanket to last.
