Festive Forest is a stunning throw knit that brings the outdoor forest of enchanting trees inside to keep you warm and cozy. The tree blocks and edge blocks are sewn together into vertical strips, and the strips are then sewn together. The borders are picked up and knit from the edges of the completed blanket. The blanket is worked entirely from written instructions (no charts).

Techniques to enjoy: basic shaping, pick up and knit, and mattress stitch (technique video links included).
