This fresh take on a tuck stitch pattern really has me excited! While there are many blanket patterns out there, few of them are
reversible. The back may not be identical to the front, but its unique pattern created from the tuck stitches reminds me of
fingers dancing along the keys of a piano. Other parts resemble stars in the midnight sky. All combine to put a smile on my
face, and I hope, on yours. Knit flat, you can pair two solid colors or a solid with a variegated color yarn and watch the brick
pattern unfold. While working with one color at a time, watch yarn overs and slip stitches become friends in a conversation that
you wish would never end…and soon you or a loved one will be wrapped in love!
