I was trying to understand what a ‘temperature blanket’ is, and while browsing I hit on this pretty afghan:

I’ve never really mastered knitting, but this looks like a project with no fitting that might be easy to lean on.

That is a beautiful throw, colors in particular & it looks like it has great texture .... I downloaded the pattern to check it out ... I was hoping it wasn’t done in ‘Homespun’ since I have had poor luck knitting with it; however, one of my “go to” crochet prayer shawl patterns is worked in Homespun (so soft & warm!).

Well, there is some Homespun, but there is a big variety of other yarns as well ... here’s the list for anyone interested [All are Lion Brand yarns]:

Homespun
- 1 skein Adirondack
- 1 skein Sierra
Chenille Thick & Quick
- 2 skeins Dusty Mauve
- 2 skeins Desert Print
Jiffy
- 3 balls El Paso
- 2 balls Taupe
Wool-Ease
- 2 balls Guava
- 2 ball Caramel
Wool-Ease Chunky
- 1 ball Willow
Imagine
- 2 balls Cocoa

Knitting needles are BIG so it would work up quickly.
Size 17 (12 mm needles).

You do work 2 strands held together in pattern stitch sequence .... IMO, that could be a bit tricky for a beginner/novice knitter.

Thanks for the pattern - I’ve got it saved. :-)
