Most of the patterns below will have yarn suggestions, so you can use what they suggest or find a fiber similar in the same yarn weight.

For those who are more advanced, intricate patterns like the Snowflake Square will be perfect for you.
Customization

Care Instructions
After all the hard work, you’ll want to keep your blanket looking great. Always read the yarn label for care instructions. Most will be machine washable, but some might require a gentle cycle or even hand-washing, so this is something to keep in mind when choosing the yarn you want to use.
