Designer Jessica Ays shares: "The Brooklyn Rib Blanket is a pattern that will always be close to my heart since it was one of my very first designs. The clean lines of the stitch pattern are reminiscent of my hometown: Brooklyn, New York. The sidewalks that line every street, where I spent my childhood playing with friends. And, while the bustling cityscape of Manhattan was close by, the neighborhood I called home was much quieter and more suburban than what most people think of when the topic of Brooklyn comes up in conversation."
This pattern is a great next step for a beginner knitter who is ready to tackle their first big project. The simple 4-stitch, 2-row repeat is easy to remember, making it perfect for social knitting or binge-watching your favorite shows.
