Be bold. Be dramatic. Be cozy. With this week’s free Willow Wednesday pattern, you can be all three when you wrap up in this show-stopping blanket that combines modern design with the warm comfort of Willow Yarns. Designed by Rae Blackledge, this intermediate knit pattern combines seven brilliant hues of Willow Wash DK into an oversized striped chevron for an eye-catching design that’s also soft and perfect for snuggling.

Chevron is formed with increases & decreases used to make the fabric bias. Short rows are used to bring the garter st border around the corners.
