Pro Tips for Success & Pinterest Styling
Tension Check: Bulky yarn can be heavy. Let the hook do the work and keep your stitches relaxed so the blanket stays soft and drapeable.
Pinterest Styling: Drape the blanket over the edge of a neutralcolored armchair next to a glowing candle. Cozy, highcontrast photos perform exceptionally well in fall and winter.
