Used a flag seed stitch for the center of the blanket and made a garter stitch border. I doubled up the yarn and then would drop one piece of yarn and introduce a new color to help make the gradient color change over the blanket (from grey to navy blue). I made it a bit longer than most of my blankets but it’s super soft and snuggly.

Also added a modified version of the Purl Soho hat with ear flaps using the leftover blue yarn.
