Jesus said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.”
John 6:12 NIV

Thus the John 6:12 blanket came to be. We all have yarn left over from projects and this pattern allows you to use it so that it isn’t wasted.
While the pattern is written for a baby blanket you can easily make it bigger, suggestions on how to do so are noted in the pattern.
Only your imagination is the limit when it comes to colour combinations and yarns used, but I do advice that you only use one weight per blanket. You can always double or tripple the yarn to get the correct weight.

The name of this pattern is inspired by TaddieBeeKnitting’s afgahn, it is wonderful.
