This Pescadero Harvest Blanket features a cozy, reversible checkerboard texture created with a simple combination of Seed, Stockinette, and Reverse Stockinette stitch patterns with a slipped stitch edge.
It is named for a favorite local coastal farming town along California Highway 1, south of my knitting studio. Pescadero’s produce fields, tucked between the Pacific Ocean and rolling hills, grow coastal favorites like artichokes, strawberries, and pumpkins. Those tidy harvest rows inspired this blanket’s warm, woven design.

NEW ARRIVAL: Pescadero Harvest Blanket Yarn Kits >
I've been receiving requests for the exact yarn used in my photos and video tutorial. Since I love the feel and colors of this superwash yarn, I thought it would be fun to offer the exact same yarn to everyone.
