Building Blocks Blanket

Play with log-cabin patterning on a long warp as you weave the three panels that make up this baby blanket. Use bias tape to bind the edges and then add a sweet detail of handstitched zigzags. You’ll also feel good about your yarn choice with this organic cotton grown in the United States and dyed using ecologically sound techniques.

This blanket design evolved as Deb wove it—and that’s the beauty of a long warp in color-and-weave. You can develop your own version of this blanket at the loom, keeping in mind that you need three equally long finished lengths to stitch together. Although Appalachian Baby yarns are considered knitting yarns, they work wonderfully in weaving. Deb framed the blanket with bias tape and added a bit of “pop” to the edge finish with a simple herringbone stitch on one side of the binding.
