What better way to show love than by knitting a blanket for someone? This blanket is inspired by the eccentric book character Pippi Longstocking, created by Astrid Lindgren. Worked from the center out, this pattern is easy to memorize and fun to knit. This project is easy to personalize with color choices, variegated yarns, or gradients. Combine stash yarns or change colors more often to make the blanket your own!
