Happy Spring!
With all the beautiful weather and festivals going on, a bad hair day shouldn’t keep you indoors. Maybe you haven’t shampooed, not fixed it up yet, got hat hair or bed hair and need to go out. Here’s a simple and versatile project for a quick fix. So, for whatever the reason, you can fix it later and look good now!
Now available for free! Enjoy!

I’ve figured out how to knit a
blanket during the warm summer months: by knitting in columns, you never have a
whole blanket in your lap while working on the project. Then, with a super easy
alternative to mattress stitching even the seaming was fun. I used 5 different
colors, staggered and balanced the color scheme, but you could alter it with a
scrappy leftover look or whatever pleases your fancy. This was an absolute joy
to knit up and seam and I hope you enjoy it too.
Pattern is released as free for an initial period.
