Cabin Comforts Knit Blanket
You don't need to be a master knitter to knit a blanket that's cozy and beautiful. The Cabin Comforts Knit Blanket is a simple pattern made entirely in garter stitch. The color striping isn't uniform, which helps give it some visual appeal, but the neutral colors used keep it serene and versatile. The best part about hand knit blankets like this one is how quickly they work up. With super bulky yarn and size 11 needles, this blanket works up as quick as a wink.
