BLOCK 12 of 12 blocks of Xmas knitted blanket – OhLaLana!
Block 12: Chevron
Hello there!! I share here the pattern for the last block of the blanket, this time with a double chevron design. Finally! I hope you like it, and prepare all the squares, blocking them if possible. On Thursday I will be writing the last article of this project, detailing 3 different ways to join the blocks.
