This blanket is a variation on the classic 6-Day Kid Blanket (6DKB). This textured stripe was conceptualized by Diane Kagay and members of the 6-Day Blanket Group and was named by Sue McKinnon and Katie Poli.
I used the textured Ridgy Didge stripes as inspiration to create this new border.
There is a full-sized version of this pattern in the works called the 6-Day Ridgy Didge Blanket.

What’s the difference between this pattern and the original 6DKB?
Size - the original blanket was toddler size, this is a baby blanket.
Yarn Weight - The original blanket used chunky weight yarn, this pattern uses DK.
Edge and Border - this pattern has instructions for an edge and a custom border, the original only gave instructions for tassels.
Stitches: this pattern uses the same six rows of stitches that the 6-Day Kid Blanket uses with color changes on a different row and textured stitches added.
Straight top and bottom: The original started and ended with chevrons, this blanket has options to start and end with a straight edge with optional instructions for chevron start.
