An easy-to-follow “color map” and photos of how and where to pick up stitches make this a great 2nd or 3rd project for the beginning knitter, or a mindless-but-not boring knit for those with more experience.

The skinny borders make your other 4 colors POP and lend balance to the finished piece.

Cascade Sierra or Blue Sky Cotton will give you a 30”x30” baby blanket or lapghan. Dream In Color Classy will give you a larger blanket, about 35”x35”. You can always keep knittin’ for a larger, adult-sized version!
