Much like the Quartier Baby Sweater, this sweet baby blanket, knit in Whimbrel, features clever construction and endless colorway possibilities. Knitters of all levels will delight in its straightforward approach: this square blanket is knitted flat and seamlessly in triangular quarters built of striped and solid rectangles. As a playful approach to working with color, we love how this design pieces each quarter together—for an eye-catching result. Bonus: the included swatch pattern can serve as a whimsical washcloth!
