Product Details
Hot air balloons are a familiar sight over Bristol every year as it is the site of the Balloon Fiesta. This fun blanket uses the modular knitting technique familiar to Horst Schulz or Alison Ellen. The first strip of balloons is knitted and subsequent strips of balloons are joined as you knit. Between the strips there are garter stitch rows.
This pattern has been tech edited and test knitted to ensure a pleasant knitting experience.
A youtube tutorial outlining how to pick up the rows along the edge of the balloons and how to join as you knit is available: https://youtu.be/C1nhqn51Jqc
