The Birds Work for the Bourgeoisie is a completely customizable stash-buster blanket is constructed out of columns joined together. This pattern is perfect for your leftovers, as well as all those mini skeins from advent calendars.

Feel free to use different weights of yarn for the different columns. Each column should be composed of a single yarn weight, with different weights in different columns. Continue with the same weight in the same column until the column is complete.
