Jumbo yarn makes for quick work in this colorful patchwork, quilt-inspired knit blanket. Worked on the bias in shades of Bernat Blanket Extra Thick, this stocking stitch blanket uses simple increases and decrease to create colorful striped panels, that when seamed together, form a rich patchwork effect. Practice doing simple colorwork, plus knit, purl, purl front and back increase, knit front and back increase, and more. It’s the perfect project to usher in colder days.
