Buy some washable colorful cotton yarn and cast 90 stitches onto your favorite circular needles.
Knit from one end to the other 3 times: garter stitch.
Now K3, P3 and repeat. Finish with K3.
When you start and finish the row with K3, you'll get a garter stitch border. The K3 P3 repeat makes wide stripes and the blanket will lay flat.
Make it about 3 feet long. Finish with 3 rows of K for final garter stitch border.
Wash gently with mild soap, and lay flat to dry or dry on low.
