Few things are more snuggly and warm than a handknit blanket. And when that blanket is worked in a fluffy brioche stitch, you simply can’t get more cozy.

This easy to work stitch pattern utilizes yarn overs and decreases to create a squishy fabric perfect for bundling up a baby or curling up with on the couch. With two edging options, you can choose the garter border for a refined look or the ruffle for a little flair.
