Nicola Valiji and Zoe Potrac have worked in collaboration to design this stunning Summer Strawberry Blanket with Picnic Bag as either a FREE Knitting or Crochet Pattern. Bright shades of pinks and reds alternate to create a traditional gingham style blanket with the addition of strawberry motifs on white squares to add that extra touch of summer. The blanket would make the ideal accessory for the warmer season: use as a picnic or beach blanket; add to your home or garden décor; or use to wrap up warm in the cooler evenings. The accompanying Picnic Bag features hanging strawberries and flower motifs and is large enough to carry your new blanket or other summer and beach accessories. 

The FREE Knitting Pattern, designed by Nicola Valiji, is written in UK terms.
