In 5 or 7 colors

We’ve received a lot of requests to scale up our Garter Blocks Baby Blanket for grown ups—especially for graduation and wedding presents. The simplicity of garter stitch lends itself to primitive and modern decors alike. Knitted in strips (with a little simple seaming later) it’s a very portable project.
