A Noro Kanzashi & Bachi Pattern - Textured Blanket (PDF)

Bonnie Franz’s afghan is a texture lover’s dream, utilizing a bouclé yarn (Kanzashi) and bulky yarn (Bachi) in the violets, blues, and greens of their respective colorway #7s. Squares are made individually, with Kanzashi worked in stockinette and Bachi worked in a broken rib stitch. Bachi is used to seam the squares in finishing with a garter-stitch edging.

The squares are knit individually and seamed together.
