When dear friends announced they were expecting a little boy, I decided I wanted to give a chevron pattern I had floating around my brain a try. This blanket is made from simple knit and purl stitches in a lusciously soft superwash merino yarn, and produces a subtle geometric pattern perfect for any baby. It reminds me a little bit of Charlie Brown from Peanuts by Charles Schultz, hence the name.

Yarn:
Malabrigo Rios (100% Superwash Merino Wool, 210 yards/100 grams per skein), 5 skeins.
Shown in Blue Jeans.

Needles:
US 7 (4.5 mm), 32” circular needle or longer.
Or appropriate size to achieve gauge.

18 sts/30 rows in 4”/10 cm, in pattern, blocked.
Gauge is not critical, but different gauge will result in different amounts of yarn used.

Finished Size:
33” x 33”
