I've been told perfection is boring. Well, I'm certainly not boring (just ask my friends) and I'm definitely not perfect (just ask my kids)! Because of this I have a standing policy of rewarding people who nicely bring an error to my attention with a free single pattern download from my Ravelry pattern store.

Sometimes a cold wind blows a chill in my bones

Some days are diamonds some days are stones

John Denver


This stunning, extra-warm blanket is made with Mighty Stitch Bulky and features a woven diamond pattern. Slipping the traveling stitches on the wrong side makes the diamond design “pop” on the right side while creating a visually pleasing, textured wrong side. Both charted and written directions are provided. All of the traveling stitches can be done without a cable needle–step-by-step directions are included in the Abbreviations section. The finished blanket is large enough for a twin size bed–plenty big enough to cuddle up with your sweetie on a cold winter’s night!


Modifications for the shawl version of this pattern are included!
