Southern Cross Afghan
This knit blanket is a cool combination of two-colors, garter stitch, and mosaic knitting. The blanket is built from thirteen individual triangles that are built upon until the blanket is completed. A garter-stitch border brings it all together. Choose two highly contrasting colors to make a showstopper!
