When I was designing this blanket, I wanted to create a bold, colour-blocked look. Something clean, easy to construct and full of texture. Something that would work in both modern and traditional settings with an edge. Instead of traditional squares, I set out to create a shape that was less boxy and more moxie! By choosing stitches that worked up in different widths, I was able to create a look that has some shape to it, without the complication of increasing, decreasing or lots of sewing.

This blanket holds beautiful texture and would work well in very muted tones to blend in or can pop off the couch with bolder colour choices. Either way, she’s full of moxie and very easy to work up and finish!

In addition to the written pattern, a full video tutorial available for the making of this pattern and the assembly/finishing process.
