LIKE AN English meadow in summer, this blanket design combines soft green textures with a scattering of flower motifs. The central section has knit-and-purl chevrons, while the outer bands feature simple Fair Isle motifs. Siân Brown’s design uses Cascade’s classic 220 aran-weight yarn, a Peruvian Highland wool which comes in a huge choice of shades.
