Dog Days Blanket Pattern

 

I’ve figured out how to knit a blanket during the warm summer months: by knitting in columns, you never have a whole blanket in your lap while working on the project. Then, with a super easy alternative to mattress stitching even the seaming was fun. I used 5 different colors, staggered and balanced the color scheme, but you could alter it with a scrappy leftover look or whatever pleases your fancy. This was an absolute joy to knit up and seam and I hope you enjoy it too.

Pattern is released as free for an initial period.
