The Impressionist Blanket gets its name from the alternating stripes of solid colors and two different solids held together. This creates a subtle transition section that gives the appearance of a new color. Additionally, this large mitered blanket is knit in a simple garter stitch with an elegant leaf border around the edges. Knit out of Palette or Stroll, the yarn is held doubled throughout the pattern making for a quicker knit than expected.
