"This quirky little fairy garden would make a delightful gift for a young child as well as being funky enough for your faerie-loving best friend!" says Fraser. "Designed to suit your yarn and your gauge, the blanket is worked from clear numbered charts and includes EIGHTEEN different charted block patterns. Sock yarn will result in a small blanket; double knit or sport weight yarn will make a blanket fit for a cot/ cot bed, and using worsted yarn will make a lovely fairy garden throw! The characters are friendly,and the motifs can also be used to decorate a wide range of accessories for the faerie lover in your life-- from cushions to sweaters and bags!" As you can see, the uses are many (for individual blocks or any combination of them); you get to use your favorite yarn; and intarsia lovers will find something to dream about. Each chart has its own page and is presented in full colour. A sample bit of text from the pattern gives an idea of style combinations and possibilities.

I absolutely LOVE this pattern. My only difficulty has been having it printed off. Are the charts available colour-coded only and not in full colour?
