This is a simple pattern, designed to allow the self-striping effect of Adriafil Zebrino to speak for itself. The blanket is knitted in stocking stitch with an integrated moss stitch border. It is knitted flat on a circular needed to accommodate the stitches.

The design uses 2 balls of each of the seven shades of Zebrino - simply knit until one ball runs out and then start another colour. You can follow the colour sequence in the pattern or choose your own combinations. It would work equally well with only two or three shades or even just one. You need 14 balls in total, whatever colour combination you choose.

Happy knitting!
