Swiss Cross Childrens Blanket

"This is a very easy pattern knitted in panels. You can make a bigger blanket simply by adding more panels. You will have to know how to cross your yarns at the back of your work when starting your cross. There will also be almost 300 loose ends to work away. The panels are sewn together with mattress stitch"
