=========================
Amazingly Simple Blanket
The materials needed depend on finished size – figure about 18 oz for a baby size and increase from there for adult size.
This pattern is called brain dead for a reason – the first row you think I’m out of my mind. Trust me and just follow the instructions. After that repeat the second row until you’re tired of it or run out of yarn!
This is a great scrap project too.

I have made this pattern several times. It works up quickly and you can totally change the look with your choice of yarn.
I’ve used this pattern many, many times for lapghans. It works up super quick and you don’t even have to think about what you’re doing (at least not much). Great pattern!!!
Fun!! can’t wait to make this 🙂 Thanks!!
