Knit Blanket

If you can knit a scarf, you can make a blanket. (You don't even need to add or reduce stitches!) This coverlet is made from 12 individually knit rectangles of natural-colored wool, sewn together with a contrasting yarn, so the seams show.

The process used to make this blanket is easy to adapt to make a throw for a sofa -- or even a baby blanket.
