Inspired by the colours of falling cherry blossoms from the old tree in my garden, the blanket is a feast of changing shades from the dark centre, out to the soft pastel edges.

It is based around the simple Granny Square and is suitable for most abilities. There are detailed step by step guides and written instructions over 17 pages, backed up by access to a number of helpful video tutorials covering certain aspects of the pattern.

Importantly, since colour is the prime theme of this pattern, there is a COMPLETE YARN LIST included and details of an online stockist with international shipping.

The pattern is available in ENGLISH ONLY, using UK terms although a US converter is included.

The blanket measures 49 inches square.
