Garter Blocks Blanket Using Berroco Ultra Alpaca Chunky
The Design
Modern, retro, romantic, eclectic—whatever style you prefer, this Garter Blocks Throw will fit right in. Simply knit in strips of garter stitch (with a little seaming later), it’s a relaxing, satisfying project. It’ll be at home resting on your sofa, or bed, or chair—anywhere!
We found Ultra Alpaca Chunky to be the perfect mix of soft and warm in our search for cuddly huggable yarns. It blends the softness of alpaca with the springy reliability of Peruvian Highland wool at a nice, chunky gauge. And its saturated, heathered colors provide a great range of choices for any home.
