An advanced beginner pattern inspired by the carpet in the eerie Overlook Hotel from the movie The Shining, this mesmerizing blanket pattern is sure to impress. Make it in the original very 70s colours, or create a bold pattern in more modern shades; either way, you’ll end up with something that will make an impact.
