1950s Knitting - Vintage Style Picnic Blanket

The Vintage Pattern Files: Free 1950s Knitting Pattern - Vintage Style Picnic Blanket
Vintage 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!
