Two Color Baby Blanket

Jennifer’s choice of yarns and stitch pattern resulted in this mesmerizing blue baby blanket. As you can see, the hue slightly changes, and yet it is balanced with the solid color in between. The best part, though is that this stitch is very easy to learn, and the clever way of changing the colors leaves you with no more than 10 yarn ends to weave in.
