Zoom Baby Blanket
Experience Level: Advanced Beginner
The Zoom Blanket is a modern blanket whose focus is bold stripes of mesmerizing waves of color. Alternating stripes of garter and stockinette provide texture and visual interest. As color choice makes a big impact on the finished look of this blanket, choose three colors (or more!) and wave your way to an adorable baby accessory or lap blanket.
Construction Details: The blanket is worked in one piece, working alternating stripes of garter and stockinette stitch while working a simple feather and fan stitch. Side borders are picked up after the body of the blanket is complete.
