  This circular blanket was inspired by the Slipstravaganza shawl from the Westknits Mystery Shawl KAL 2020.
  
  Choose four colors of DK weight yarn and begin the blanket in the center as you increase toward the border. Slip stitch honeycombs expand into bubble stitches, which are both surprisingly simple to knit. Stop after the bubbles for a small blanket, or continue with more slipped stitches and chevrons for a large statement piece. You only have to work with one color at a time throughout the entire project.
  
  The large size is perfect for a big bedspread and the small size makes a lovely decorative throw.

  If you are using West Wool Tandem, you will need…
  MC - 3 (5) skeins
  CC1 - 2 (4) skeins
  CC2 - 2 (4) skeins
  CC3 - 2 (4) skeins

  Needles
  Two pair US 6 / 4mm in 60” / 150cm length or size needed to obtain gauge

  The end of the blanket has very long rows, so you may want to use 2 or 3 long circular needles to comfortably knit all the stitches if you don’t have a very long circular needle.

  Notions
  186 stitch markers for the large size, tapestry needle

  The stitch markers are used for the large size border to help with the increases and decreases. You can tie scraps of yarn into little loops and use those as stitch markers.

  Gauge
  22 sts & 42 rows = 4” / 10cm in garter stitch before blocking
