What you need to know

For the last two squares in Part 6 of this beautiful blanket, you’ll make branching twigs stand out against a background of purl stitches, and a nice and easy Red Birdhouse square that balances the blues and greens of the blue version made in Part 2.

Designer

“The blanket is inspired by the idea of nurturing and I thought a birdhouse was a good way to illustrate this. It works for both boys and girls, and hints at the bond between mother and child”
