The patterns for the 20 beautiful stripy blankets vary from simple designs that use only the most basic stitches - perfect for an absolute beginner - to more complex creations that use special stitches. Furthermore, each project comes with a written pattern, chart, colour advice and instructions for making it in a variety of sizes, ideal for making presents for little ones as well as your grown-up friends and family!
