Inspired by traditional quilt patterns, the Valley Yarns Herringbone Blanket is actually constructed with simple, striped garter stitch strips knit on the bias. Different shades of gray provide depth to the pattern, and a bright color pop on the border helps liven up your home decor. Made in Berkshire Bulky, not only will this blanket be warm, but quick!
