The Irish Shores blanket is based on a travel story to the coasts of Northern Ireland. It was the seventh chapter of my book Journey and Crochet Journey. The books are retiring soon; therefore, the patterns are also available individually as a download.

Some general information about the Irish Shores blanket:
