Join Carol Feller for a unique blanket that will blend Log Cabin Style with Gansey Stitches.

The blanket uses the ‘Log Cabin’ style of construction where it starts with a small garter stitch central square. This then grows by working small strips outwards from this centre by picking up stitches and working a new strip on each side.

First released as the Blanket Club 2025. If you would like full video tutorial support, then you can still purchase the Blanket Club 2025 digital option here.

We are putting a twist on this traditional style blanket, using a combination of garter stitch and gansey style knit/purl stitches to work this interesting construction with some added fun!

You can find yarn kits here.
