Pinwheel Blanket

This is my favorite kind of pattern - it looks complex, but it’s actually quite easy to make, once you understand the construction. I worked in stripes for an interesting pinwheel effect, but the blanket would also look beautiful with four solid triangles, or with a nice self striping yarn.

I created this design with yarn support from my local yarn store, Prairie Fiber Arts Center. This pattern is free with the purchase of yarn from PFAC, so if you’ve purchased yarn for this project from them in store or online, please message me for a free copy of the pattern!
