Dive In

Designed with three main colors and one contrast, once you get the idea of the pattern, any number of colors could be used, making this a great use for stash yarns or one skein collections. To help you in choosing color palettes, there is a blank schematic where you can test out options and make a paper prototype of your blanket.

Ideal for beginning knitters, or those hoping to get a little practice with short rows, this blanket takes simple garter stitch stripes and adds short rows to create stacked wedges, for a different take on stripes.

The pattern features three sizes, the smallest perfect for carseats or strollers, medium for cribs or sending off to preschool, and the largest for a picnic or living room throw.
