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 colour at a time throughout the entire project. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe large size is perfect for a big bedspread and the small size makes a lovely decorative throw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAll rights reserved.
