Feather Throw

Feather Throw designed by Faye Kennington from Love of Knitting Winter 2016 or get the individual pattern here.

Designer Faye Kennington found an eagle feather on the beach one day and for several months thereafter dreamed of creating cabled feather motifs. This blanket perfectly (and dramatically) showcases the feather stitch pattern. It’s just the right size for an extra layer of warmth on bed or couch.
