The Travelers Blanket is a large square knit in garter stitch in the round. An alternating two-color scheme optimizes the high contrast between the garter ridges to give a subtle staccato texture to the piece. Its generous size makes it perfect for cozying up with a good book or wearing like a shawl when you’re out and about on the coldest of days.
