Little brother to Nevern Throw, Nevern Lap Blanket contains six new charts developed from the carvings on the Nevern Cross in Pembrokeshire. Make this smaller version or mix and match with the charts in Nevern Throw to create your own combinations of Celtic knots and keywork patterns.
The Great Cross of St Brynach (the Nevern Cross) is a 13-foot tall stone cross in Pembrokeshire, Wales, which dates from the tenth or eleventh century. It is decorated with many Celtic knots and patterns.
Stranded squares are worked flat and separately, allowing Nevern Lap Blanket to be a project you can take with you, while the modular construction invites options for the positioning and use of motifs. Six different designs (in reality three, each with a reversed colorway twin) are bound together with a garter stitch border.
The colorwork patterns are charted in grey and white only, and are not written.
