An heirloom blanket - A simple pattern with a single colour

Have you ever dreamed of making a blanket that could be cherished for generations? ✨

Heirloom blankets are often simple in colour but rich in detail—using stitches and motifs that truly shine when given space to be admired. A light or neutral shade lets the intricate work take centre stage, turning every stitch into something special.

Earlier this year, one of our talented pattern testers, Carli, created her very own heirloom blanket during the testing phase of our Hexi Blooms pattern. The result was breathtaking! Using 10 skeins of our soft 4-ply cotton yarn in Dusty Pink, she stitched a piece that feels both timeless and inviting. The warm tone added a touch of romance to her work, perfectly complementing the elegant design.

I can only imagine the pride she must feel holding her finished blanket—and honestly, I feel just as proud seeing our community bring these patterns to life. Our pattern testers continue to amaze me with their skill, creativity, and thoughtful feedback. Their dedication helps refine each design, and I am endlessly grateful for the way they support not just me, but the whole Life in Loops community. 💕
