Pattern Notes
This blanket can be made wider or narrower by adjusting your cast on in multiples of 10. Work one more Base Triangle, one more Wrong Side Rectangle per tier, one more Right Side Rectangle per tier and one more Top Triangle per multiple of 10 stitches cast on. When starting the first Right Side Rectangle and all Top Triangles, the one st remaining on the needle from the previous triangle will count as the first of the 10 total sts you will need to pick up. A nice bonus to this blanket is that there is no binding off; the top triangles will close themselves off. To make the multi-colored version, simply use a new color of yarn for each tier.
