The Maxwell Blanket is a beginner-friendly knit plaid blanket worked in one piece, making it a simple meditative knit. The woven plaid effect is created by adding vertical stripes at the end, avoiding the time-consuming methods usually required for plaid. With yarn held double for extra coziness and speed, a full video tutorial, and three sizes to choose from—baby, lapghan, and throw—this project will be a cozy addition to your home.

Considered Level 1, Beginner, there is a full video tutorial.
