Vintage Tartan Style Picnic Blanket

"This gorgeous knitted picnic blanket by Sian Brown uses intarsia colourwork to create a timeless tartan effect! The blanket uses Rowan Summer Tweed and Rowan All Seasons Cotton to create a rustic effect in beautiful outdoor colours. Sausage rolls, jam sandwiches, thermal flasks full of tea – there's nothing more idyllic than a picnic by the riverbank! Remember to twist your yarns together mid-row to prevent holes forming."

There is something very 1950s about polka dots and so I think this modern blanket pattern could have just as easily been designed in the 50s as today!

This pattern is from my own collection and should have been made up into a wonderful vintage baby blanket...but I am lazy and only managed 8 of the 48 squares I needed to finish it so it became a cushion instead.

and see what it should have looked like :)
