This delightfully squishy little blanket can be made up in any size and any color combination, and can be completed in a week or two for a last minute baby gift. Caron Big Cakes work great as the patterned size takes almost exactly 2 cakes.

Tips for working with Caron Cakes: When purchasing your cakes, make sure to check that all colors are represented in order (sometimes they knot in a color out of order or skip colors), and try to choose two cakes who’s beginning and ending are relatively close in pattern to avoid waste or having to cut and splice to keep your stripes the same thickness and in the same order.
