This striped garter stitch cotton blanket is perfect for summer babies. You can make it bright and cheerful or subtle and refined, depending on the colours you choose. The i-cord edging gives it a nice finished look, and even includes a helpful little loop on one corner.
Use 3 colours of any smooth cotton or cotton-blend yarn for this project. This pattern will work with any yarn weight and any gauge. If the same number of sts are CO, heavier weight yarn will yield a larger blanket, and lighter weight yarn will yield a smaller blanket. Make a gauge swatch first and adjust sts to achieve your desired blanket size.
