Color Play
This blanket is a study in playing with color. If you have always wanted to knit something very simple that uses lots of random colors, this project is for you. Finished Size: 50" X 65"
Materials:
10 colors of worsted weight yarn - I used 2,200 yards of Cascade 220. Needles size US #9, 32 inch circular or longer.
Stitch Definitions:
St = Stitch. Sts = Stitches. Kfb = Knit into the front and back of the same stitch. DD = A double decrease. Slip two stitches together as if to knit, knit one, pass the two slipped stitches together over the knit stitch. Beginning: Cast on 208 sts. You can make this blanket wider by adding sts in increments of 13 sts. Row 1: \*kfb, knit 4, DD, knit 4, kfb\* repeat to end. Row 2: knit Repeat these 2 rows until your blanket measures 60 inches from beginning, changing colors randomly every other row or every fourth row to create different widths of stripes. With blocking the blanket will grow and reach 65 inches in length and 50 inches in width.
