Sitting by the Fire Blanket

In autumn 2024 I was started making a huge granny square blanket called 'Sitting by the Fire'. Because that's the image I had in my head as I was thinking of the colours I wanted to use. Warm colours that said 'curl up and snuggle right here, all cozy by this toasty fire and maybe with a little hot chocolate to drink too'. A literal and metaphorical warm hug of a blanket is what I was aiming for and this is the result.

Yarn

I used a mixture of 4ply yarns held double to equate to DK weight.

Mine was a stash busting blanket so I used some hanks from stash, some left overs and some minis.

For more details on the exact yarns I used, you can see my Ravelry project page

Substitutions

You could use any yarn you are happy with to make this blanket,

just make sure the yarn weights are the same throughout.
