Level of Difficulty - Easy
With such a soft and springy texture, this garter stitch blanket will be a delight to snuggle under – no matter how big or small you are! The smallest size is designed to make the most of just one ball of each of the colours (plus an extra for the borders), so you could easily make it from left-over yarn or from a curated palette. We’ve provided a few suggestions below, but play with the shades and make it your own. The blanket is knit with two strands of 8ply held together, creating so many gradient possibilities when two different colours are held together – and it knits up super fast on the thick needles so you’ll be done in no time.
