Northern Lights C2C Blanket - FREE GRAPH

I had an idea for another geometric print that is kinda similar to the Herringbone C2C Blanket. It uses the same shapes (or half square triangles), so it felt similar. This design, however, I wanted to be more bold, and instead of bright, a touch of dark. Not that darkness isn't beautiful, because this design most definitely IS beautiful. I wanted to capture the colors of a beautiful phenomenon that happens on this earth, the Northern Lights. So I designed the colors here to pay tribute to the wonderful light show very few actually get to see.

Introducing the Northern Lights C2C Blanket:

I think the design captures their beauty quite well!
