The Kensington Throw Blanket is a modern, textured knit that looks far more complicated than it actually is, thanks to the magic of slip stitch colorwork (also known as mosaic knitting). Worked with just one color at a time, this pattern is perfect for beginners who want to try their hand at colorwork without the stress of managing multiple strands. The bold geometric design creates a striking effect, especially in high-contrast shades like black and white, but you can easily make it your own with any color combo that suits your space. Cozy, stylish, and surprisingly simple to knit, this is one of those projects you'll be proud to show off.
