A green striped Christmas tree with a golden snowflake star on top and a brown trunk, on a white background, with three small red baubles and two small gold stars. The blanket is 31 stitches wide and 64 rows long, in 5 colors of very chunky yarn.
Follow the chart row by row from the top. The written rows and the stitch-by-stitch guide below list every run of stitches with its color.
Close up of the stitches
Very thick yarn makes every stitch a soft loop. This close-up shows the golden star and the first green stripe of the tree.
The finished blanket flat
Seen from above, the golden star, the eleven green stripes, the brown trunk, the three red baubles and the two small gold stars sit where the chart shows them.
On the sofa
A chunky blanket also works as a throw: the tree stays clearly visible when it is draped over a sofa.
