Through the Eyes of a Machine Knitter
You may never have considered cotton for a blanket, but consider this as alternative to acrylic or wool. It would be a beautiful year-round colorful accent to your home.
The easiest way to knit this blanket is to knit panels, alternating the blocks and using sew-as-you-go
If you enjoy the challenge of Intarsia and want a wide blanket, you could knit multiple intarsia panels. The real challenge will be keeping the color blocks in the correct order!
All of the blocks are worked with 2 strands. The "plaid" is created by alternating the colors.
