Twelve completely new projects are offered in this book and like the first book you can follow a given project or combine together your own choice of squares from different throws, to create your own unique design. If you have already purchased the first blankets book you can mix and match squares from both books, giving you endless possibilities. All designs use Rowan yarns.

Twelve throw projects are offered in this colourful book, combining colour knitting with texture, beads, sequins and buttons. Each project is created by knitting individual squares that are then joined together to create a knitted patchwork blanket. You can either choose a project by following the instructions, to create one of the pictured throws, or have fun combining your own squares to create your own unique design. The individual squares can also be used as inspiration for sweaters, bags or other accessory designs, making it a very useful reference book as well as a wonderful blanket book. All designs use Rowan yarns.
