With the Valley Yarns Designer Series Upside Dawg Blanket, Margaret Holzmann has done it again—this time designing a clever project with a pup-approved theme. Cozy and cute, this blanket is knit in Northampton, a soft wool yarn that has a fantastic palette of colors available. Choose the neutrals like the sample or add as many shades as you’d like for a truly custom finished piece! Dog motifs are knit flat individually in garter stitch with a combination of increases and picking up and knitting. Completed rectangles are sewn together in horizontal strips that are in turn sewn together to finish the blanket. Add a warm, beautiful blanket to your favorite spot, and enjoy the snuggly warmth you can share with your special pup! Pattern includes helpful diagrams and written instructions.
