The Valley Yarns Thora Blanket is richly patterned and knit in fun, modular parquet squares that are picked up and knit from their neighbors. A word of warning—there are a lot of ends to sew in, even for the smallest size. Get your tapestry needle ready, or carry the strands loosely across the wrong side and sew on a fabric back to conceal them.
