Knit An Heirloom Blanket by Annah O'Leary

Knit An Heirloom Blanket: Stitch a Treasured Keepsake with 50 Stranded Knitting Patterns by Annah O'Leary is an inspiring collection of colourwork designs to help you create a beautiful patchwork-style blanket to treasure for years to come.

Featuring 50 original stranded colourwork motifs inspired by traditional Fair Isle patterns, architectural details and delicate florals, each knitted square is a little project in itself. Mix and match the designs, play with colour combinations and gradually build a truly personal heirloom blanket.

Annah shares plenty of practical advice to guide you through the process, from choosing a colour palette and arranging your squares to joining them together and adding the finishing touches. The full blanket is made up of 144 squares, but there's no need to commit to such a big project straight away.

The book also includes five smaller projects, including cushions and a baby blanket, giving you plenty of ways to enjoy the patterns on a smaller scale.
