This baby blanket is made using a quick knitting chevron stitch pattern and chunky weight yarn. Choose three colors (or more!) and zig & zag your way to an adorable baby accessory. Alternating stripes of garter and stockinette provide texture and visual interest. Side borders are picked up after the body of the blanket is complete.

Finished measurements: 31” wide x 32” long

Needles should be 29-32” circular needles to accommodate the stitches.

Additional materials: Row counter and stitch markers (if desired)

Yarn Quantities per color:
MC (Main Colow - border & garter stitch stripes): 375 yards
CC1 (Contrast Color 1 - 3 stripes made): 175 yards
CC2 (Contrast Color 2 - 4 stripes made): 225 yards

To use a different color for each CC stockinette stripe, plan for about 60 yards of yarn per stripe.
