Name: Icarus Blanket
Brand: Canadutch

Icarus Blanket is a beginner friendly DIY gradient pattern which uses double stranded knitting and simple stitches to create texture and colour play. It’s the perfect size for over your lap or around your shoulders when enjoying a cool autumn day in your garden or curled up on the sofa in front of the TV.

This pattern is extremely flexible, easy to resize and opens up an entire world of possibility for gradients. The colour for the original colourway was inspired by a much loved painting of Icarus given to the designer by her mother-in-law.

The pattern is available free on the designer's website, or from Ravelry as a paid ad-free PDF (includes printer friendly version)

Hi! I'm Tammy, a Canadian (originally from Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia) currently living in France with my Dutch husband and very spoiled little dog. My crafty passion is knitting, but I also dabble in crochet, cross stitch, and quilting. I first learned to knit and crochet as a young teen. Both my mother and grandmother were very crafty and taught me to knit and crochet, but I unfortunately didn't really catch the bug until much later after I was already living an ocean away. Thankfully, the internet was there to fill in the gaps so that I could teach myself and pick up where I left off. I wasn't really serious about any crafts, working on just one or two projects each winter, until a few years ago when I picked knitting back up as a hobby during a stressful period. It seems to have stuck and I have been knitting more and more since. I have also started designing, which I find really fun and exciting. I want to help newer knitters find fun and interesting projects that they are able to knit with confidence. You can find my website here: Canadutch.
