The pattern looks advanced but is actually very easy to knit. The pattern includes both a charted and a written pattern. The blanket can be knit using 6 colors, the baby blanket or using 9 colors.

Note:
Before starting the blanket, it is important you knit a gauge swatch! This is because the pattern pulls itself together during the knitting, and the blanket widens quite a bit after washing. Thus it can be difficult to measure the gauge correctly without the swatch.
