Bundle Up: Wonderful Winter Blankets

Our holiday guest bedroom from Free Issue No. 2 features all sorts of warm and festive textiles. For the main blanket on the bed, we were all in agreement that we needed to find something in a winter-weather material – preferably a knit or wool – with a sweater-inspired pattern. After a round of voting, we landed on the Snowflake Java Throw from Pine Cone Hill for our purchase. But we had enough good options to put together a collection of blankets and throws that had our staff excited for the winter season.

Perfect Pattern. A fun, festive winter blanket is an ideal purchase when you want to add a touch of whimsy to your room this time of year. Here are our favorites.
