Shown in Rowan Cotton Wool

Perfect in any baby's room—whether modern, retro, romantic or eclectic—this wee patchwork 'blankie' will always be a beloved gift. It's simply knit in garter stitch strips (totally beginner-worthy!) so it's an easy project to tote along and straightforward to assemble.

Yarn Source

Approx. 25 x 25"/63 x 63cm.

5 skeins Rowan Cotton Wool (142 yds/130m each); 1 skein each in 5 colors. Designate Colors A–E. Or approx. 150 yds/137m each in 5 colors of an equivalent worsted-weight cotton yarn.

Sample shown in color (A) 212 Giggle, (B) 201 Milky, (C) 210 Cuddle, (D) 202 Mushy, (E) 204 Naptime.

US 8 (5mm) needles, or size to obtain gauge.
Darning needle.

Approx. 18 sts = 4"/10cm in garter stitch, after blocking.

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.
