A classic checkerboard blanket worked flat in clean, repeating blocks of knit and purl — no seams, no fuss. Knit in DK weight on circular needles, with a naturally reversible fabric that looks just as lovely from the back as the front. This quilted pattern is easy to memorize and fun to watch grow.
