I just love the fact that a simple pattern, consisting of only knit and purl stitches, can create such a fantastical illusion! Even though it is really just squares placed at regular intervals, when the blanket it spread open, it looks as if the squares are separated by circles.

The border of the blanket is formed as you go and the super bulky yarn knits up so quickly, you will have this beautiful blanket finished in no time. The pattern includes many different size options and detailed information on yarn substitution.
