Get to grips with this big, bold blanket! The Aztec Blanket KAL is a magnificent knitted blanket, designed for advanced-level knitters who want to create a true statement piece for their home. Using stranded colourwork, this blNaket is knitted in the round to create a double-thick texture. You can choose to knit one section per week or just jump in and knit the whole blanket at your own pace… Either way, the final product will be exceptional, beautiful and eye-catching.

This blanket was originally designed by myself for the brand Deramores and, as such, the pattern contains their own branding and uses their now discontinued Studio DK yarn, You can substitute all colours used with any DK yarn of your choice. If you require any extra information regarding yarns that could be a great substitute, don’t hesitate to get in touch!
