Log Cabin Blanket
This blanket is made from nine log cabin squares sewn together and finished with a picked up border. Each log cabin square is composed of a knitted square with rectangles picked up along the edge
and knitted on. The construction method is enhanced by using different colours for each module. Log cabin blankets are bold, geometric designs that would look effective in many different colour
schemes.
