This blanket is the perfect gift for the nerdy newborn in your life. A garter stitch border and strips of lace highlight the image of a double helix. Made in machine washable cotton, the pattern is complicated enough to be fun without being taxing. If you want to make something for the grown-ups, try my DNA Scarf pattern.
