This lofty blanket features stripes and eyelets for a urban-modern meets classic design. The pattern is easy enough for advanced beginners and it works up quickly on large knitting needles. Because it’s a lapghan size, it makes a lovely accent blanket and also works wonderfully as a baby blanket! With a slightly ribbed look and super bulky yarn, it’s warm and comfortable. Finish it off with large tassels for an on-trend look.
