Sampler Stripes Blanket
This easy baby blanket is also a part of the Little Charlie Brown Baby Set, #2221 and is excellent for a new knitter to gain practice in reading charts and line-by-line to advance skills. Beautiful when worked in two colors (or more!), but would also be gorgeous in one color. In several colors, the blanket would be a great way to use up several small batches from your stash.
