The Seaside Blanket is a cheerful, easy-to-knit baby blanket made entirely in garter stitch. Simple stripes and changing contrast colors give the blanket plenty of visual interest while keeping the knitting relaxing and approachable.

This version is knit with Big Bad Wool Weepaca, a soft blend of washable merino and baby alpaca. One main color runs throughout the blanket while four contrast colors change from section to section, creating the bright striped effect shown in the sample. The finished blanket measures approximately 24" wide by 36" long.
