In the depths of winter, who doesn’t love snuggling under a cozy blanket? This piece is as much fun to make as it is to cuddle in. The pattern can be adapted easily to make the perfect gift.

Featuring an easy faux-cable slip-stitch pattern with garter stitch borders, the blanket is knit in color-blocked vertical panels, which are then sewn together (no cable needle required). Three colors and two sizes are shown, but this can be made in one color or many, and changing the finished size is as easy as rearranging the blocks.
