The Boulevard Blanket….it’s quick, easy, chunky, warm and reversible!

At first glance you might think this pattern is just simple garter stitch. Look again!

An easy K3, P3 repeat pattern creates a subtle striping effect.

The name of this pattern is inspired by the beautiful tree lined boulevards of my hometown….Kansas City.
