The slipped stitches in this little blanket make the colors blend together like a watercolor. The middle block is knit in one piece, then stitches are picked up along the bottom, top, and sides to give it a pretty seed stitch border.

Finished size: 28 in X 28 in (blanket can be made bigger by casting on more stitches in multiples of 3, but this will necessitate picking up more stitches on the edges.)
Gauge: 22 stitches X 26 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
