Make a magical blanket from chevrons and mitered squares.

The blanket is worked in two sections: Background and Tree. These are worked in one piece and sewn together. The simple repeating pattern makes this an easy and quick knit, suitable for a beginner looking for next, slightly more challenging project.

Work it in Holiday inspired colors as shown here, or in nature inspired colors for year-round use.
