Color is pretty, but Black and White is an Art form. Although colors can be stunning, black and white patterns have an elegant and subdued simplicity that makes them timeless and endearing. Undoubtedly, two-tone designs lend themselves very well to repeating, geometric motifs that highlight the interplay of light and dark and thrive on the contrast. Therefore, the motifs themselves can be as simple or intricate as the crocheter wants to make them, and serve to support the yin-yang relationship of the colors in a B&W blanket. As usual, a link to free patterns is included under the photos.
Reversible Geometric Blanket
Modern interiors do well with simple, two-tone accessories with geometric patterning. In particular, Scandinavian-inspired design, with its light tones, straight lines and bright-finished wood goes perfectly with black and white dogtooth, checkerboard, or cross patterns. The reversible geometric blanket is great, because you can vary your room’s décor simply by flipping the blanket from one side to the other. A link to the free pattern is below photos.
