Shown in Blue Sky Fibers Printed and Organic Cotton Worsted

This adorable baby blanket is plush and wonderfully soft in Blue Sky Fibers’ Organic Cotton Worsted. Cotton is soft by nature and this fiber lets all that natural softness bounce right through its loose, 2-ply twist. With a springy-ness that’s reminiscent of wool and a fantastic range of deeply saturated colors and artistic, printed speckles (Printed Organic Cotton Worsted), it’s 100% certified organic cotton and environmentally friendly.

Knitter's notes

For the five-color version of our blanket, our design goal was to have no color repeat in any vertical or horizontal row, and no diagonal adjacencies. Is that so much to ask? Well, we just couldn’t do it.

Beatrice White to the rescue! This savvy knitter and math grad student used ‘combinatorics’ (learned at math ‘camp’ in Budapest...seriously!)—and a pencil, Sudoku style—to work out a sequence that meets all of our criteria. Beautifully.

Bea pointed out that in this solution the same colors always follow one another—but that an alert baby might discover this repetition and find it somehow comforting. I know we do! Thanks, Bea.
