I really love this pattern – easy, uses up scraps, and super cute. I’m definitely keeping this in my repertoire.
The Bretton Heathers definitely ended up being on the lighter side of DK weight, so I made the blanket a bit bigger than the pattern called for: I added two repeats into each row, and did one extra repeat of the pattern.
That’s really my only quibble with that Bretton Heather yarn – it’s other wise lovely to work with, and at five bucks a skein, it’s a steal.
