Skills/concepts include knit, purl, slipped stitches, and seaming techniques. Notes from the Designer: There is a particular peace that comes from making something slowly with intention, stitch by stitch, row by row, always moving toward the center. This blanket is worked in 16 squares, and each one begins at the outer edge and draws inward, row by row, toward a still and quiet heart. The design is meditative, rhythmic, and deeply satisfying to watch take shape. Gold runs through this blanket like magic, reminding us that we are both the center of our own story and held within something greater. Knit it slowly. Let it center you. * Click [here][8] to watch a video showing how to knit the mitered squares that are featured in this pattern, and learn more about our 2026 Fall Knit and Read Along. * The sample shown used approximately 5,250 yds/4,800 m total: Color A: 510 yds/470 m, Color B: 510 yds/470 m, Color C: 480 yds/440 m, Color D: 480 yds/440 m, Color E: 460 yds/420 m, Color F: 460 yds/420 m, Color G: 470 yds/430 m, Color H: 480 yds/440 m, Color I: 480 yds/440 m, Color J: 460 yds/420 m, and Color K: 460 yds/420 m. * Throughout the pattern, the yarn will be held double.
