Light in the Window
The Light in the Window blanket is modern, colorful and super easy to knit! This color-block blanket is knit entirely in garter stitch in three rectangular panels, making it a perfect on-the-go knitting project. A relaxing knit for beginners or experienced knitters. Pattern includes step-by-step finishing tips, as well as instructions for two blanket sizes.
Late at night in any neighborhood, at any time of year, one can find residences with a light on in the window. The light could be on for so many reasons: someone is watching a movie, or reading a good book, or working late to meet a deadline, or studying for school, or caring for a young child… or perhaps the light was left on for a family member who will be arriving home late.
This garter stitch blanket is easy to knit with your choice of five yarn colors. Select a bright or light color for the focal point in the center panel to symbolize the light in the window… a light that represents care and love.
