The inspiration Havana Nights was the theme “Tropical.” I didn’t want to go for obvious tropical shades so chose what felt like a heady, exotic mix of colours. For the longest time I couldn’t think of a name but then one night Dirty Dancing was on the TV and it came to me in a flash!

This rectangular blanket is made in one piece, it’s the colour changes that create the chevron.

This pattern includes the written instructions and colour chart for Havana Nights. There are comprehensive instructions and photographs for construction, including changing colour and decreasing. There is also a bonus toddler sized version too!
