A rhythmic chevron lap blanket worked in garter and stockinette stitch with bold bands of color.

Bold color and simple stitches come together in this cheerful chevron blanket. Alternating sections of garter stitch and stockinette create rhythmic zigzag bands that highlight each shift in color while keeping the knitting engaging and relaxing.

The blanket uses one main color paired with five contrasting shades to create flowing bands across the fabric. A built-in garter ridge I-cord edge provides a neat, finished border, and the pattern is worked flat in repeating sections that make it easy to adjust the length or play with color placement.

The result is a graphic, modern blanket that works beautifully in bold color combinations or softer tonal palettes.
