Join the Dots Baby Blanket is knitted using a simple slip stitch pattern.
Although the colours are speckled throughout, only one yarn is used on any row; making this an easy knit.

The fabric has a garter base (no purling!) which, with the slipped stitches forms a cushy warm blanket.

Using a solid colour for the main shade and a colour changing yarn for the contrast give a beautiful effect; for an equally striking blanket, try using two contrasting solid yarns.

Stitches are picked up along the side edge after knitting to complete the border.
