I chose Lion Brand Landscapes yarn for this project because it’s incredibly soft, and I think the variegated colors work perfectly for this stitch pattern. That said, feel free to use your choice of worsted weight yarn for your blanket.

Size Adjustment: To adjust the width of your blanket, start with a longer or shorter chain. The pattern has a chain multiple of 4 plus 2 stitches. If you want to adjust the size of your blanket, chain in multiples of 4 and add 2 stitches to that. For example, if you were to chain 16, you would then add 2 stitches for a total of 18.
Make sure you keep your yarn needs in mind when adjusting the size of your blanket.
Pattern Notes:
- The chain 1 does not count as a stitch.
- If you have trouble identifying the first or last stitch of the row, use stitch markers to help you keep track.
