CHEVRON BABY

BLANKET
BY MELISSA CLULOW
With over 8000 projects completed, this pattern has become a classic. The
cheerful two-row pattern is easy to customize in terms of size with the
addition of 24-stitch repeats. While the pattern itself remains the same,
we've updated the layout and added a new sample to the mix. Try it in the
original Blue Sky Fibers WORSTED COTTON or in Manos del Uruguay
ALEGRIA GRANDE with Bocados mini-skeins.
