Siesta Beach Blanket
On chilly evenings, there’s nothing better than wrapping yourself in a warm, comforting blanket—one that brings a hint of sunshine and relaxed, beachy calm to your home. Generously sized, this blanket is perfect for spreading across a bed or snuggling under on the couch.
Worked in the beautifully textured braided bamboo stitch, it features a bold horizontal design that echoes its name. The stitch is fully reversible, allowing the blanket to lie flat while looking great from either side. Simple and easy to knit, and worked in a chunky yarn, this is a satisfying, quick project that’s as practical as it is inviting.
