A perfect project for mini skeins. Falchion is a corner-to-corner blanket. It is designed so that you can use any amount of yarn, though I’d recommend a minimum of 1464m (1602yds) for a cot size. With a simple chevron lace that is mirrored on each side and contrast cornerstones. Falchion is an ideal pattern to customise the colour placement and make it your own.
