There is something timeless and homey about plaid. This blanket creates the illusion of plaid in a simple way. So, cozy up under it on a cold evening and feel the warmth of home.

This blanket is knit in strips using only garter and stockinette sts, beginning with the wider Block Strips. Stitches are picked up along the sides of these strips to create narrower Vertical Strips. The bound-off edges of the Vertical Strips are then sewn to the Block Strips, with Border Strips added at the sides, top, and bottom.

Finished Measurements: 42” wide by 46” long.
