Here’s a blanket pattern that really rocks! This impressive, twin-sized guitar blanket is a must have for the serious music lover. The pattern contains color change instructions as well as line by line written instructions. Just follow the simple drop and carry style, no chart reading necessary! A chart is included, however. The color changing technique used is smooth and does not leave unsightly strings hanging on the back side of the blanket. The details of the guitar are added as applique for interest and texture.

This pattern is named after my brother, Dan. Dan passed away in 2016 at the age of 26. He loved music and playing the guitar and the bass. AC/DC and Pink Floyd were two of his favorite bands.
