Garter Blocks Baby Blanket Churchmouse Wee Ones

THE DESIGN

This all-knit blanket is a study in simplicity. Renée Brofsky’s original multi-color version has primitive patchwork appeal. Of course, we love the black-and-white version for its modern graphic edge. Knit in strips, this is a very portable project with just a little simple seaming.

To size it up, just add squares or make each square larger.
