The Chubasco Blanket is the sister blanket to the Chubasco Sweater and the Chubasco Shawl, and as they do, it features the Crossed Loops St. This time, I’ve manipulated the stitch pattern to make it into a Chevron Motif, making it a very fun and classic design. The Crossed Loops St evokes the unexpectedness of Spring rain, and making it into a blanket to cozy up in a coldish Spring evening just… closes the circle.

The Chubasco Blanket is worked bottom up, in the Crossed Loops St in Chevron motif, with bottom, upper and side edges in Seed St.
