The Simpliworsted Striped Blanket is a soft, washable blanket that’s perfect for babies or as a small afghan for adults. Ideal for beginners, this pattern uses only knit and purl stitches, making it both simple and relaxing to work on. You can customize it with stripes or stick to a single color for a classic look. Featuring a stockinette stitch center with garter stitch borders on all sides, this blanket is easy to adjust in size to suit your needs. It’s a thoughtful handmade gift —and a great project to enjoy while watching TV.

Four colors of Simpliworsted were used to create five stripes. Approximately 700 yards of an Aran weight yarn is needed on a size US #10.
