Knit with love for the whole family! If you follow us on Instagram or Facebook, the pattern inspirations in today's newsletter might look a little familiar. Today we're taking a deep dive into 3 beautiful blankets designed by our current design crush, Fifty Four Ten Studio! (Ravelry / Designer Website) Handknit blankets are like hugs and we can't get enough of Mary Lee's crisp, clean aesthetic! Her patterns are completely approachable for newer knitters, yet engaging for seasoned knitters. She does an incredible job of delivering unfussy, modern textures while shining a spotlight on the yarn. Fifty Four Ten Studio blanket patterns come in multiple size options, ranging from snuggly car seat/crib sizes and over-the-couch, catnap throws, to larger, bed-sized blankets perfect for providing a homey, extra layer of warmth for away-from-home college students and for adding a handknit touch to your own bed!* Read on for our top Fifty Four Ten Studio picks + yarn recommendations! *If you'd like to make a larger blanket and need more yarn, please contact us to place a special order! | | Knit in DK weight yarn, Summer Sidewalk alternates chunky bands of garter and smooth stockinette stitch, and is bordered in plush garter stitch edging.
