Quarterline
This garter stitch blanket imposes a “zipper” colorblock motif over a ground of broad stripes for an effect both bold and subtle. Choose two individual color pairs—here a light and medium gray combine with a tonal duo of magentas—to achieve the overall effect. Beautiful results can be attained with both high-contrast colors and atmospheric, analogous combinations. Choose an inspiring palette that makes you smile as you explore color theory. The garter stitch fabric keeps the knitting straightforward and meditative—very weeknight- or travel-friendly!—allowing the maker to focus on the soothing stacks of alternating stripes.
