The Steppingstones Blanket was inspired by some amazing modern and geometric quilts. I wanted to create something modern, textured and gender neutral and this is the result. This is a great project to use up small amounts of yarn. I used some of the yarn from the Stonewashed/Riverwashed minis pack to complete this project.

This project would work equally well in a dk yarn but please be mindful that you would need to adjust hook and yarn quantities.

For project inspiration check out Instagram #steppingstonesblanket and don’t forget to tag me in your projects, I’d love to see them.
