Construction

The colour blocks are worked in long Garter Stitch strips, each joined to the one before it as the blanket grows, so there’s no seaming and only one colour in use at a time. Spit splice joins to minimize weaving in of ends. Simple increases and decreases create the chevrons.

What's Included

This pattern includes detailed written instructions, an assembly diagram, and a “colour it yourself” sheet to design your own colourway.

Substitution Notes

Choose a worsted weight yarn with easy care instructions. While a wool blend or superwash wool makes the colour changes easy and minimizes the number of ends to sew in (because of the spit splicing technique), an acrylic blanket will be easy to launder.
