Falchion

Falchion is a corner-to-corner blanket. It is designed so that you can use any amount of yarn, though I’d recommend a minimum of 1464m [1602yds] for a cot size. With a simple chevron lace that is mirrored on each side and contrast cornerstones. Falchion is an ideal pattern to customise the colour placement and make it your own.

RECOMMENDED YARN

Minimum of 1464m [1602yds] of 4ply/fingering yarn for a full blanket.
