This baby blanket is a great way to use up odds and ends of yarn and at the same time practice modular knitting as you will be knitting one square at a time and then picking up stitches for the next square. It really is a unique heirloom, as no one will be exactly the same, depending on which yarn and colour is used. The pattern does however contain a colour chart if you intend to work it in same colours.

Skill Level
Intermediate, although achievable by an adventurous beginner.
