No joke - my mission for my friend's baby blanket was to work a pattern that I could do while binge watching TV (as is my goal with most of my projects). So nothing too complicated but looked super elegant. This is totally it! Not only have I fallen in love with this pattern but I'm starting to see it everywhere.
Check it out, it's a breeze!

#SpotlightStitch follow up! Hi #friends! I received a lot of feedback that you liked the#blockstitch but that the loose ends it created was kind of a non-starter 😳. I totally hear you! Check out how I’m tucking in the ends as I work up the pattern to save myself a ton of work weaving them in later! Hope this tip helps! Comment below and let me know what you think! .
Since you are changing colors every other row, is there some reason you haven’t just carried the yarn along the edge?
