Sea Shells Blanket – Ashford Triple Knit pattern

Tracy Henwood of Knit Spin Weave, Ashford dealer in Clare, South Australia knitted this beautiful, quick to knit, multi purpose blanket in our new Ashford Triple Knit yarn. We think it’s fabulous! It would make a great weekend project, a cosy addition to any room in the home.

Happy knitting!
