The Rooftop blanket uses just two different colors of yarn, but the marled technique makes it look like more! By holding three strands of the one color and one strand of the second color, then two strands of each, and then three strands of the second color and one of the first color – something magical happens. The fabric looks like a night sky full of shimmering stars, that’s almost liquid-esque.
This will be my first attempt at knitting a garment! I was finally inspired by this gorgeous pattern...by clear way it is written, the awesome yarn it recommends, and the style will be appealing to wear for many years!
I love this pattern! It's got enough pattern to it to hold interest, but not so complicated that you can't space out and knit while watching tv for large portions of it. ;0) I made the smallest size for my 18 mo. old. She loves it, and so do I!
