The gentle horizontal color striping in this super-soft blanket balances beautifully against the vertical braid and chevron panels. Thick and snuggly, the Madrid Baby Blanket will be a favorite of both the big people and the little people, and is likely to take on heirloom status in the family. In bulky yarn it knits up quickly, and its simple eight-row repeat makes it a fairly mindless project once you get going. The braids are formed by making a clever little tweak to what would otherwise be cables.
