Hi! You can see the free pattern on the blog through the link here on Ravelry. I also have a printable, ad-free, PDF version available for purchase from Etsy HERE. Hope you like it!

Inspired by the beauty of Colorado and suitable for a Rocky Mountain winter, this blanket will keep you cozy all season long wherever you live. You’ll use simple stitches to create the look of raised braids and crossed stitches to make beautiful eyelets. The chunky wool blend yarn makes for a relatively quick project and the stitch patterns are so much fun. Get ready to welcome chilly nights with your new throw!

Pattern Notes:

This blanket is made from the bottom up and is finished with a border on two sides. Feel free to practice on a small swatch before beginning the blanket to ensure you understand the stitches. To adjust the size of the blanket (or to make a small swatch), you can start with a chain containing any even number of stitches. To make the blanket longer, simply repeat rows 2 – 7 until the blanket reaches your desired length. Have fun!
