PATTERN NOTES
This Blanket is made up of 7 striped panels that are seamed together. A garter stitch edging is added after seaming. When changing colors in each panel, cut the color that you’ve just finished with and weave in the ends later. Leave 12” tails when beginning and ending a new color and use these tails in the seaming process to reduce the amounts of ends to weave in later.
