This eye-catching Puff Braid Blanket is worked along the long edge, using 2 colours and 2 st patterns to get different textures.
A set of rich puff braids in contrasting colour on one edge of the blanket is contrasted by a simple treble stitch and a solitary braid in main colour on the other edge.

Play with the colours of the braids: making a rainbow braid is a piece of cake, pick 6 rainbow colours and using one for each braid; or make the braids pop out even more by framing them with another colour.
I can’t wait to see what colour combinations you come up with!
