Apple Orchard Picnic Blanket

This is a pattern for a textured throw, originally designed for Knitting Magazine called Apple Orchard Blanket. It has three different textured squares; stocking stitch, a textured check pattern and a bobble tree motif. The yarn used has now been discontinued, so any yarn knitting to the tension can be used. (18 stitches x 22 rows over 10 cm stocking stitch) Alternatively a yarn knitting to a different tension can be used to come out at a different size. The throw is in Autumn colours cream, a soft green, soft red and lilac. Finished measurements are 130 x 180 cm. Size can be varied by making more or less squares.
