^{Tinted Mayapple Flower Blanket by Marie/Underground Crafter}

This show-stopping motif blanket features 6-petal mayapple flowers. A self-striping yarn does all the colorwork for you, so there are fewer ends to weave in on this colorful, motif project.

This pattern is also available as part of a kit on Bluprint (formerly Craftsy).
