Inspiration for this blanket came from the many happy holidays spent in Spain and Portugal.

The colour of blue and yellow, along with white remind me of the many older and some modern buildings , A truly Mediterranean vibe.

There are charts (with the X ‘S) showing the 3 designs, along with written row by row for each design.
Pattern written for this size of blanket, but can easily be adjusted to any size, you can also change order of the designs, using only one , two or all three.
