Alaskan Winds from the Valley Yarns Designer Series is a cozy blanket that uses stripes and mitered squares to create a seamless project that’s fun to knit. Four colors of Northampton yarn take turns striping in stockinette stitch with an occasional garter ridge thrown in for interest as you add squares in a modular method. Northampton is a beloved wool yarn that has a smooth, soft feel and comes in a wide range of colors perfect for matching your décor. Knit Alaskan Winds to add a cozy throw to your couch or give it as a thoughtful gift for a holiday or housewarming.
