This blanket pattern is included free with the purchase of ebook ‘The Knitting Ewes -The Secret’. It is an easy read story about some very unique sheep who knit. It is amusing and fun. Most adults find it whimsical and entertaining. A great child’s bedtime story. The pattern ties loosely to the adventure, and a particular sheep. Watch for the next in series, ‘The Knitting Ewes - The Year With No Rainbows’, coming the end of July 2013.
Hope you enjoy, read, and knit until the sheep come home.

This is a very adaptable pattern. It is knit on the bias, with an easy diagonal pattern of garter stitch throughout. Gauge isn’t terribly important, you just knit until your blanket is the size you desire. Knit with suggested colors you need:
320 yds. white, 160 yds. each of yellow, pink, blue, lt. green, and lavender, or 1120 total yds.
This pattern is now offered FREE. I see so many versions of this blanket, that I can’t in good conscience charge for it, even though I wrote the pattern nearly 5 years ago. It is still offered with the kindle book.
