Hungry Horse begins with the center panel which is conveniently worked back and forth. Once the panel is complete, stitches are picked up and the blanket is then worked in the round. It is easy to customize this blanket by adding more borders or working fewer or more rounds in each border.

Polka Dot Sheep Stumptown DK is the perfect yarn for this project. It’s a super-soft, superwash merino yarn with great stitch definition and inspiring colors.
