The Peaceful Prairie Blanket is a reimagining of the classic Prairie Star quilt design. Make it in the earthy colors of the prairie, or as bright and colorful as you dare!

This blanket would make a great wedding gift because the two diamond motifs in the center are intended to represent a bride and a groom coming together in marriage.

Let two colorways of self-striping yarn like Lion Brand Mandala do the work for you while you double crochet. Both the main color and contrast color yarns are carried throughout the blanket in the tapestry crochet style. Hardly any yarn tails to weave in!
