This was a mindless knit for my sister’s little one arriving in July. I flew through the first half of the project and then abandoned it for awhile. What can I say, I came down with a bad case of lazy knitter syndrome! I managed to get it done in time for the baby’s arrival. The blanket turned out to be a nice size. Each stripe has 20 ridges of garter and is approx 5 inches. I love this color combination, and this yarn seems like a good and practical pick for my low maintenance sister.
