Stripes and Blocks Baby Blanket by Lisa R. Myers

Craft: Knitting

Knit in Agave and Tahiti in Alegria Grande, the semi-solid and space-dyed colors gives the stripes-and-blocks design a playful contrast!

Alegria Grande is a plied superwash light worsted weight yarn (see the full palette here!). Pairing Alegria Grande with the baby blanket’s double-knit structure makes it extra cozy and machine washable!

Notes

Double-knit fabrics often work up looser than single-color stockinette, which is why the recommended needle size is so small. Swatch around until you find a fabric that seems right to you.
