Felicity
Surround yourself with color with Felicity, an inviting blanket built from simple knitted squares. This cheerful design celebrates color play and modular construction, making it an enjoyable project whether you follow the suggested palette or create your own.
The blanket is worked in individual Blocks, Edge Blocks, and Corner pieces that are sewn together, allowing you to knit at a relaxed pace and easily take the project with you. Borders are added afterward by picking up and knitting stitches along the edges, giving the finished blanket a polished frame.
Construction relies primarily on garter stitch with pick up and knit (pu&k) techniques to form squares and triangles. The knitting itself is straightforward, making this a satisfying project for knitters who enjoy clean geometry, color exploration, and a bit of finishing.
