What could be more delightful than cuddling up under a handmade blanket? In this book, Brooklyn Tweed founder Jared Flood presents irresistible patterns for making blankets and afghans, large and small. Each chapter presents dozens of cozy designs that range in complexity, style, and size; no matter your aesthetic or skill level, there’s a blanket here you’ll want to make.

Brooklyn Tweed is one of the top knitwear design houses and yarn brands in the United States, focused on sustainability, ethical practices, and US-based production.

For the book, they’ve gathered a star-studded list of contributors, including Ainur Berkimbayeva, Aiste Butkevičiene, Amy van de Laar, Boann Petersen, Emma Ducher, Hiroka Shinokawa, Joanna Ignatius, Lis Smith, Meri Tanaka, Orlane Sucche, Pauliina Leisti, Rastus Hsu, Scott Rohr, Seth Richardson, Stefanie Sichler, Tokuko Ochiai, and Vincent Williams Jr. The result is a dazzling array of colors, patterns, and blankets from which to choose--you may not be able to resist making them all.

Jared Flood founded Brooklyn Tweed as a blog for knitters in 2005, and has since grown the company into a maker of sustainable, breed-specific American yarn and a standard-setting knitting design house. Brooklyn Tweed connects handknitters to their materials by creating timeless wool yarns and patterns that support textile production in the US.
