Knit an heirloom blanket with Siân Brown's beautiful colourwork Christmas design

On the first day of Christmas, LKT gave to me... a brand new knitalong - woop! This beautiful blanket uses a sophisticated, vintage-inspired colour palette to recreate the motifs from the famous song. You’ll be using colourwork techniques as well as embroidery and appliqué, so do take your time to ensure a top-notch finish. We start, just like the song, with a Partridge in a Pear Tree. This instalment also includes the instructions for the leaves and berries which feature on every blanket square. It's knitted in DK yarn using elegant vintage-inspired shades. Download the pattern today to get started on your beautiful knitted Christmas blanket.
