Our take
A beginner blanket that stays a stripey rectangle — no seamed squares, no super-bulky shortcut.
Knit Picks rates it Beginner. Garter stripes and no shaping keep the construction honest.
Compare it with Lion Brand’s super-bulky blanket if you care about speed. The PDF is on Knit Picks.

Worsted blankets use more yarn than they appear to. Check Knit Picks’ ball counts.

Join new colors cleanly if you want tidy stripes.
