Designer Anne Le Brocq has created a collection of 50 knitting patterns for different kinds of landscape and weather features. Whether you live near the mountains or by the sea, you can knit your own landscape blanket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 50 pattern swatches include wet sand, pebbles, footprints, rain, clouds, different kinds of tree foliage, mountains, sand dunes, and more. There are written instructions and numbered charts for each of the landscape swatches, as well as stunning photography showing the inspiration for each of the designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese swatches are the perfect 'on-the-move' project because you can knit one square at a time and join them together to make a blanket. However, there are also instructions for how to use the swatch patterns as vertical and horizontal repeats if you prefer to knit a blanket in one piece rather than joining the individual swatches at the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs well as the pattern swatch library, there are five finished blankets to illustrate how the pattern swatches can be used. All of the blankets have instructions for making them using the swatches or knitting them in one piece, allowing you to choose your preferred method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe author uses a wide range of different yarns—including gradient yarns—to show how colour and fibre can change the effect of the finished blanket.
