Basket Weave Knit Blanket by Bernat

Craft: Knitting

A single bold color is used to bring out the stitchwork on this contemporary knit blanket of warmth. Featured in our soft-as-can-be Bernat Forever Fleece, you'll knit and purl your way to creating a garter stitch fabric with a wonderful woven look. Knit in one piece, you'll also do a simple garter stitch edging to complete the look. An easy-to-memorize pattern makes this a relaxing choice for your project bag!
