Chunky Blankets Score High in Snuggability

Tis’ the season to stay warm and toasty and what better way to do so than with a larger-than-life knitted blanket meant to look like you’re being swaddled like a little baby. Anna Marinenko hand-knits chunky blankets and scarves that are a bit like a magnified version of the ones your grandma used to make. The Ukraine-based designer uses her hands to weave the incredibly large Merino wool yarn, known around knitting circles as the ultimate in softness, durability, and snuggability. Blankets fetch for $400 at Marinenko’s Etsy page under the name Ohhio.
