Brookside Blanket

Description

The Brookside Blanket knitting pattern is named for the neighborhood where I grew up in the Kansas City, Missouri area. The grid inspired knitting pattern reminds me of the orderly neighborhood streets with charming homes that date back to the 1920’s.

Baby: 25” wide x 31” long

Small: 32.5” wide x 38” long
