This little gem of a blanket began as the side of a knitted block, but I loved the feel of the merino yarn so much, I got carried away and just kept knitting! It is a great pattern for any skill level and you can use virtually any yarn!

• Try stripes or color blocks by alternating two (or more!) colors!

• Running out of yarn? Add a contrasting border for a pop of color!

• Use a chunky-weight for a quick, last-minute gift.

• Dig into your stash and put your leftover yarn to work for a scrappy masterpiece!

Cast on and get carried away!

This pattern has been recently updated to include yardage requirements for multiple yarn weights.
