Southwest Sunset Blanket
By: Stacy Wilkinson from handmadebystacyj.com
"The 16 stitch knitted panel is simple to memorize and works over a 2 row repeat. The points at the end are highlighted with small fringes of only 3 strands of yarn used for each fringe. It does work up fairly quickly because of the chunky yarn. The blanket is sized for a 50″ x 60″ throw. The stitch pattern works in multiples of 16+2, so you can customize the size to your liking. I’ve created a video to help with starting your blanket, placing stitch markers, binding off and working with the fringe."
