1. Mistletoe Knit Lace Blanket

Marly’s design features an interesting geometric pattern where zig-zags and openwork go together. Her choice of yarn is worth noticing, too – soft merino wool in a bulky version is fast to knit and looks great. For a classic look choose subdued colors, such as dusty blue, cream, or beige. If you’re more into colors, go for ombre yarn or even stripes!
