Knit Seamless Plaid Blanket Pattern
Knitting is especially fun when you knit two different designs at once. This lap quilt pattern is plaid on one side and striped on the other. It is double knit which means you slip stitches and slide to the other end of the needles which will accomplish this. Use 3 contrasting colors for even more design.
