Named for its similarity to a strand of DNA, this modern blanket is worked in contrasting colors for maximum impact. Strips are worked one at a time then joined with a 3-needle bind off so there is no sewing!

The pattern has full written instructions, full illustrated and step-by-step construction diagrams.

You’ll need (2) US Size 10/6 mm 40”/100 cm circular needles or size needed to obtain gauge, (1) US Size 11/8 mm needle for 3-needle BO, a tapestry needle, stitch markers, needle protectors, and stitch holders.

See the photos for yarn requirements.
