Garter Blocks Baby Blanket Pattern

“Modern graphic meets primitive patchwork.”

• about 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. Or see the Big Garter Blocks Throw or Afghan pattern in our Churchmouse At Home collection which you can use to wrap yourself and your baby.
