The Kensington Throw Blanket is a modern, textured knit blanket that looks far more complicated than it actually is — thanks to the magic of slip stitch color work (also known as mosaic knitting). Worked with just one color at a time, this pattern is perfect for novice knitters who want to try color work without the stress of managing multiple strands at the same time. The bold geometric design creates a striking effect, especially in high-contrast shades like black and white, but you can easily make it your own with any color combo that suits your space. Cozy, stylish, and surprisingly simple to knit — this is one of those projects you’ll be proud to show off.
