The compulsive Mad Ball knitting continues! The Mad Stollen Blanket is based on our Stollen Shawlen from a couple of years ago, but it seemed like time to make that super easy and gorgeous stitch pattern into a blanket - and Mad Balls were the perfect choice! AND with the arrival of NEW Juniper Moon Farm Cotton Merino, we had the perfect contrast as well! Changing the size is easy - just subtract or add in multiples of 6 to lessen or increase by 1.5” or so. Full repeats of the pattern will get you about 10”

The Mad Stollen Blanket is our TWENTIETH pattern that is included when you purchase a Mad Ball, which can only be found here!

This pattern will be free for the first 1000 downloads and code FREEMSB and free with the purchase of any of my other patterns (add both to your cart before using the code) and code FREEMAD for one week (ends 2/20/24).
