The reversible everyday blanket is worked flat in one piece. You’ll start by working up the bottom border, then will reserve some stitches at the beginning and end of every row to create the side borders while simultaneously working the central feature texture before finally working the top border and casting off.

Skill level: Beginner
Knitting skills required: cast on, knit, purl & bind off

A knitting chart detailing the feature texture is included in the pattern along with a guide to help you remember which row you’re on.

Note: The original yarn used to make this pattern has unfortunately been discontinued. It seems like Bernat Fluffee would be a very close match (it is also machine washable which is a must for me when it comes to baby items). For more yarn with similar qualities, I suggest using yarnsub.com, alternatively, any Bulky (size 5) yarn with which you can meet gauge should work.
