Looking to explore Canada’s wilderness, but you don’t have time to hop from province to province? The nature found in Riding Mountain National Park represents three distinct ecosystems (grasslands, mixed wood forest, and eastern deciduous forest) all protected within the Riding Mountain Biosphere Reserve. Spend your morning among the trees, then head out onto the plains for an afternoon of sun.
And what better way to end a winter’s day of ice fishing on Clear Lake than to curl up in front of a fire with a cozy blanket? Or in summer, whether spread out on the beach for a picnic or wrapped around little ones on the drive home after a day at the beach, the Riding Mountain Cabin Blanket is the cozy utility blanket for all your adventure needs.
Worked corner to corner, this @5’ square blanket incorporates garter stitch, slipped stitches, and intarsia techniques. The pattern uses aran weight yarn in four colours: @600y each in colours A and B, @1200y of colour C, and @800y of colour D. The sample shown was knitted using Briggs & Little Heritage yarn, which is a lovely Canadian sourced, spun, and dyed, slightly rustic wool yarn.
The pattern is fully written, and includes a colour placement schematic. Available now on Ravelry and Payhip!
