The ALTSTADT BLANKET Pattern is immediately available as a downloadable pattern (.pdf) upon checkout!
 
The colours of historic Altstadt (Old Town) on the banks of Lac Lucerne, Switzerland are highlighted in this luxurious blanket.  An intarsia interplay, alternating knit and purl, results in the look of inlay with a seamless flow of colours as we revisit the Swiss Cross pattern. The perfect blanket in both size and weight for cool evenings by the water, travelling, or for your favorite reading chair with a good book.
