This bold and playful blanket pattern is a great introduction to intarsia colourwork.  It was inspired by a popular quilting pattern, and is a great way to get that same look without all the sewing!  Combine complimentary colours to suit your décor, or go for high-contrast stripes for that retro vibe.
