This blanket is a basic, uncomplicated design of stockinette within a garter edge border. The uniqueness comes from holding the yarn double throughout, creating faded stripes with color transitions and a dense, snuggly fabric.

Simplistic designs allow yarn selection to take center stage, so play around with different colors and enjoy the process!

The DK weight yarn is held double throughout, creating a worsted weight fabric with a faded stripe effect.

• Do more (or fewer) stripes to alter the size
• Use different yarn weight(s), keeping in mind that yardage required will vary if you opt for this modification
