I was asked to design a mushroom blanket in memory of a special young man named Freddy. Freddy had a passion for drawing insects and naturals when he was a child, and in his teenage years, discovered all the funny ways to draw and colour mushrooms. I hope Freddy’s Mushroom Forest captures just a little bit of his love of art and all the natural wonder and peacefulness of the forest floor.

This is a mosaic overlay picture blanket, which has both Charts and Written Instructions (right-handed). It is 169 stitches x 208 rows. Finished size (not including border) is approx. 63” x 47”.
