I look forward to the subtle signs of spring that appear all around us this time of year. When I saw my perennial blooms coming up, it inspired the delicate lace stitch you see in this throw blanket. Knit in Lion Brand Feels Like Cuddles, the fabric created is both textured, lacy and full of drape.

Full knit kit is available for purchase on the Lion Brand Yarn website.
