This is the first blanket square in a project called the “Textured Swatches Blanket”. I’m creating this design to practice my knitting skills and learn new stitches, and I hope you’ll join me on this journey.

The stitch used in this blanket square is called the “Garter Stitch.” I’ll have the full pattern for the blanket ready soon.

If you’d like an easy-to-follow tutorial for the stitch used in this pattern for other projects, follow the links below.
