If you wish to have the pattern in your Ravelry library, please purchase it from Ravelry instead.

The blanket begins with a garter stitch stripe border that is worked sideways. Stitches for the main section of each wedge are then picked up along the side edge of the border. The central colour-blocked section is knitted in stocking stitch.

Fashioned decreases along the sides of each wedge create a neat edge that’s perfect for seaming with mattress stitch. While the blanket is worked in four colours, feel free to customise the palette to suit your preferences.

This blanket is ideal for knitters with average to intermediate skills.
