This winter weather has been pretty crazy where our offices are located. Temperatures have been both in the 40s and nearing zero in the same week, and I’ve started just keeping my gloves and hat in my car because I never know when I’m going to need them! Today it’s a balmy 31 degrees, and all I can think about is how I’m going to wrap myself in a cocoon of blankets as soon as I’m home. Whether you’re feeling the chill in your part of the world or simply looking at the snow on the weather report, one thing’s for sure: Winter is the season for blankets!
We give a lot of love to the crochet afghan here at Stitch and Unwind (we can’t help it—we’ve got a whole sister site devoted to them!), but today we’re paying tribute to its cousin, the knit afghan! These 11 knitting patterns will have you well on your way to Warmville before you know it. From basic beginner knitting patterns to designs that are a little more advanced, you’re sure to find the blanket of your dreams to snuggle up with this winter.
