What was your inspiration?

What says "love" more than a heart?! And this cuddly blanket is covered in them. And the fact that this blanket is Double-Knit creating two blankets at once, back-to-back, means double the love! It's reversible, so it's just as lovely on the back as it is on the front and it creates quite a substantial blanket.

What are you most proud of?

This pattern is easy to make your blanket larger or smaller in the width and/or length, so it will fit anyone's needs.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Double-Knitting is fun to learn. If you can knit and purl, you can do it! Take your time to create this work of art. Learning the process will open a new world of colorwork to you.
