Ash Bark Blanket
Like rich, textured bark wrapped around a tree, the Ash Bark Blanket is a softer, gentler covering, designed to comfort and protect. A young ash tree starts with a smooth bark that develops its characteristic diamond-patterned surface with age. Although not super speedy, fortunately, knitting is a lot faster than tree-growing! With a combination of cables and passed stitches, in just a few rows, you’ll see the forest through the trees, as this distinctive texture emerges against a reverse stockinette background.
