The Brava Stripe Blanket features KnitPicks Brava Stripe, a soft, self-striping acrylic yarn. This pattern is ideal for using multiple color ways of self-striping yarn together. To create the blanket shown in the photos, I recommend using KnitPicks Brava Stripe. You can substitute another brand of self-striping or cake yarn if you like, but other yarns may produce a different look and stripe pattern.

If you have lots of scrap yarn in your stash, you can also make this project with leftover yarn. Just join them together using the yarn joining method of your choice (I prefer the Russian Join technique) to make your own self-striping yarn. To make this afghan with scrap yarn, you’ll need at least 1000 grams of leftover #4 Worsted Weight yarn.
