I have an old blanket by Zara I like it so much but time did not spare it and I decided to make a new one. I got something similar and maybe even better than Zara’s blanket. For this blanket, I used two kinds of yarn Alize Alpaca Royal and Alize Alpaca Royal Tweed. I alternated them (a skein of grey then a skein of tweed yarn) to make visible the texture of the pattern. But you can use any yarn you like for this blanket.
