Quiet Afternoon Blanket Pattern
Pattern Information:
When the world’s needs are many and I am feeling depleted, an afternoon of quiet reflection helps make all well again. Those moments of refuge – often accompanied with knitting, a cup of tea, and music – do wonders for the soul.
​
In appreciation and thankfulness for those quiet afternoons, this blanket receives its name. This blanket and its companion socks, the Quiet Afternoon socks, are, themselves, much like those afternoons: gentle and beautiful.
​
A textured blanket with clean, geometric lines, this pattern will look best knit in a solid or tonal yarn. Due to its simple texture, this pattern is also easily customizable. Make the blanket longer or shorter by adding or omitting rows in groups of 24. Make the blanket wider or narrower by adding or omitting stitches from the center of the blanket in groups of 16.
