The pattern was designed for the Mystery Knit-A-Long 2023, held in the Arella Seaton Design group on Ravelry.

Seedlings planted grow and flourish. The roots entwine together that it is inconceivable that they should ever part.

The Roots pattern uses ten square designs with growing, twisting, turning, and entwining motifs.

The blanket is worked in squares, in a mosaic garter stitch, and sewn together. The charts are also given in reversed colours for ease of use in case you decide to swap the light and dark colours in your blanket.
