The doors and windows of the Portals blanket remind us that every new experience begins with a step into the unknown. This mid-century modern inspired blanket is worked in a palette of reds, blues and greens. This versatile pattern could just as easily be worked from your stash in yarn weights between DK and Chunky.

The blanket is worked in 5 large rectangular sections that are sewn together. Each section is worked modularly. Individual shapes are worked flat and a small seam is sewn closed upon completion.

The pattern includes full written instructions, and step-by-step construction illustrations. Links are provided to a coloring page and optional charts, and video tutorials for techniques.
