The blanket is worked in veritical strips on either straight or circular needles. Strips can either be sewn together, or joined-as-you-go. The border stitches are generate with pick up & knit and worked on a circular needle. Techniques used are short rows (aka: wrap & turn) and pick up and knit (pu&k). This is a great introduction to short rows for garter stitch since the pieces are simple and repetitive. You’ll have it mastered and memorized in no time!

Notes

To eliminate sewing strips together, you may use the join-as-you-go technique (JAYG instructions included) to attach the current Strip to the previously completed Strip.
