Kiruna Blanket, afghan, reversible, knitting pattern

What could be more wonderful than wrapping into a cozy warm blanket during the cold season.
It will be even more cozy when you knit the blanket yourself.
Or, you knit it for someone you love as a wonderful present.

The blanket Kiruna can be knit straight or diagonal.
The pattern contains three sizes for four different yarns each as well as examples for handspun yarn. The size can be adjusted individually as well.

The twofaced reversible pattern looks gorgeous and comsumes less yarn than other common textured patterns.

The detailed pattern (10 pages) contains charts as well as a written pattern for every single row and also hints to adjust size.
