This blanket reminds me of the squares on the sidewalks that we used to make to play hopscotch. Stitches are simply knit and purls. Squares are divided by a braiding affect by holding 2 strands together. I chose 3 colors to make this blanket but I like the way it is versatile and could use as many colors as I want. Pattern is for stroller size up to large blanket size and free on this site.
