Birds of a Feather Blanket: Christmas Worsted Weight Version

Birds of a Feather Blanket: Christmas Worsted Weight Version

The Birds of a Feather Blanket has been a long-standing best seller since its release in 2022. In 2024 I also released a two-color version which had been wildly popular. Apparently I really like giving this blanket a new version every two years, because here we are in 2026 with yet another twist! This time we are going with a Christmas theme AND it's worsted weight. My two previous versions were done in DK weight (and I had some people make their blankets with fingering weight). The other versions were also created with hand dyed yarn, which as we all know, can be pretty pricey! My Christmas version is a budget friendly blanket made with Lion Brand's Wool-Ease Worsted Weight yarn. 

Final Dimensions: Each square measures approximately 4.75 in x 4.75 in (12 cm x 12 cm)  

Finished blanket measures approximately 42.75 in x 42.75 in (109 cm x 109 cm)
