When a storm is on the horizon, the air is thick with anticipation. As the sunlight fades, the winds shift, and the storm reveals itself. In some cases, the storm brings damage and destruction; in other cases, it washes all clean.

Whatever a storm may bring – and whether a storm is literal or figurative – there is comfort in knowing you are safe, and that is the concept that inspired this blanket. When a storm is coming, this blanket is a reminder that all will be well in time.

A textured blanket with clean, geometric lines, this pattern will look best knit in a solid or tonal yarn. Due to its simple texture, this pattern is easily customizable. Make the blanket longer or shorter by ending where you wish. Make the blanket wider or narrower by adding or omitting stitches from the center of the blanket in groups of 26. To ensure the recipient falls in love with this blanket, use a soft, washable yarn with great “squish.”
