Evergreen Blanket

Wrap yourself in the comfort of nature with this warm Evergreen Blanket!

Crafted from ultra-smooth wool yarn, this blanket offers the perfect balance of warmth and a slight weight for soothing your senses. The rich evergreen hue brings a touch of calm and elegance to any space.

This blanket was a wedding present for one of my best friends and her husband. Her request for the blanket was an “earthy” color since she loves the outdoors. I searched high and low for the perfect yarn, and I think I found it!

Raised Ripple Stitch Diagram

For my visual learners!

**The picture depicts a double relief stitch (1dc/rf).  This project uses a triple relief stitch (1tr/rf)

Triple Relief Stitch (tr/rf) – Wrap the yarn around the hook twice, insert the hook from the front side of the work around the appropriate stitch below;  pull the yarn through four times to complete the stitch.
