Bricks and Blocks
Are you looking for some good “TV knitting”? This is the perfect project! Even a new knitter can make this blanket with ease! All you need to know is how to cast on, knit, and bind off! There is no a single purl in the entire pattern!
Bricks and Blocks was designed with Wonderland Yarns’ exquisite Mad Hatter yarn.

Gauge
