Checkerboard Baby Blanket Kit in Santa Monica Painted

This classic baby blanket will surely be loved and cuddled for many years. We used the most basic form of intarsia in this blanket, working half in one colour and switching to a second—but don't worry, because we've got guidance in the pattern to help you if this is a new technique!
