This afghan is made with three different stitch patterns including stockinette, garter stitch and seed stitch. Tutorials for these stitch patterns can be found by conducting a basic online search. The blanket is worked in a repeat of 3 simple sections, each with a different color and stitch pattern. To adjust the width of the blanket, simply cast on more stitches while keeping an even stitch count. To adjust the length, simply knit for more or fewer rows while following the stitch pattern. For a consistent look, you may consider adding more sections of stockinette or seed stitch to the blanket in order to make it longer. Keep yarn needs in mind if you adjust the size!

Hope you enjoy it!
