Often one of the first things you notice in a house, a throw blanket on top of a sofa or chair in the living room oozes cozy feelings. The thought of being wrapped up in a hand knit blanket while watching your favorite movies tends to bring with it nostalgic memories of the wintertime season. The Keepsake Cover is a beautiful and bold throw made in Uptown Worsted. Sure to brighten up any house, the large stripes are whimsical and fun. Soft and cozy, the gorgeous cable pattern worked throughout reminds us of holiday ornaments and makes for a stretchy and squishy texture.
