August in the UK is the long month of school summer holidays - and as I am a teacher, I am in full relaxation swing! It’s not often that we have hot weather in the UK, but this summer so far has been a really hot one - so what better inspiration than ice creams?!

In this pattern, you’ll find a list of suggested materials and the colourwork charts. Keep knitting throughout the year to create a 2022 blanket, or have a go at ‘Advent KALendar’ challenge (not just for advent) which contains the main 24 patterns used in the original mega blanket. The Adent KAL pattern also includes full instructions for joining the pieces together.
