Fall Into Winter blanket is made up in 4 repeated panels, crocheted in linen stitch to create a drapey fabric that shows the colour stripes at their best. The panels are then slip stitched joined together before a double crochet border is added.

The pattern includes a chart, written instructions, schematics for joining and adding the border. UK crochet terminology is used.
