March of the Dragonflies is a relaxing make with a lovely flow to it. One of those makes that you can pick up and know exactly where you are. Front and back post stitches create a textured maze for the dragonflies on their march.

This blanket was produced first in Cleckheaton Merino Light & Airy with a 6mm hook to achieve a draped look, with a soft fluff to it. The second blanket used the incredibly soft Bendigo Woollen Mill Luxury 8ply. I believe this pattern to be very versatile. A smaller yarn could be used, creating a firmer look and smaller blanket.

This is a written pattern with photographs and a colour block graph. You can find out how to use colour block graphs on my webpage in the tips section or (Click here).
