One of my oldest friends is getting married and I wanted to make something special for her to mark the occasion. So I decided that this was the time to knit something big! Time to knit my first full sized blanket. But what pattern to knit? After much searching I found a free pattern for a Lover’s Knot Afghan from the Lion Brand Yarn Company.

I thought that ‘Lover’s Knot’ was such a lovely pattern name for a wedding present. I found the most gorgeous cream and super soft (as well as ecologically friendly) wool from the YarnCountry.com.

I increased the size of the Afghan by adding an additional two pats to the pattern so my finished blanket measures approx 53” x 67” and there is a super soft 4” fringe/tassels at both ends.

I also embroidered a little label that I sewed on to the back of the blanket.

I wish the bride and groom a life time of happiness together - as well as many winter evenings feeling warm under the love of one very special blanket!
