I was inspired by Close Knit’s popular and stunning Noromania blanket to create a log cabin style self striping blanket. This blanket is the best kind of TV knitting, since halfway through the project, it already functions as a blanket to keep you warm while you knit.

It’s easy to change the size of each block or to add or remove blocks for a different size blanket. I used seven different colorways in my sample, but you could also knit the entire blanket in a single colorway for a striking effect. It would also be gorgeous with one self-striping yarn and one solid color yarn.
