The blanket is knitted in a combination of 2-color brioche stitch and 2-color garter stitch. It is completely reversible. The brioche stripes change the the color of the brk stitches from light to drk color in each alternative stripe. This is a good project to practice 2-color brioche stitch. Also it is easy to change the size of the blanket by changing the number of stitches you cast on and adjusting the number of rows.
