Bering Blanket, the world’s most addictive and flexible blanket construction!
You start by making squares, 4 for the Square blanket, 6 for the Rectangle, and then join them together with “connectors.” The pattern includes formulas for determining yarn usage if you want to play with stash... I can’t wait to see what you all choose.
There is no seaming, not that many ends to weave in, and the majority of the knitting is INCREDIBLY portable!
