One of my favorite knitted blanket patterns, especially when using Bernat Blanket Yarn.
What you will need:
- 10.5 circular needles
- Cable needle of same size
- 5 balls of Bernat Blanket Yarn (I’m using Sailors Delight color for the one pictured)
Stitches and abbreviations:
- k = knit
- p = perl
- ss = seed stitch (k1,p1)
Work rows back and forth as you would on strait needles, do not connect into a circle, you are only using circular needles for the length.
DIRECTIONS
- Cast on 101 stitches / multiple of 11 +1
- Rows: 1-8 seed stitch (k1;p1)
- Row: 9 and ALL ODD rows: ss (k1;p1) 6 stitches p1; *k2; p6; k2; p1* repeat * to * until last 6 stitches, ss(p1;k1) last 6 stitches ending on k1.
- Row 10 & 12: ss 6 stitches (k1;p1); k1; *p2; k6; p2; k1* repeat * to * until last 6 stitches, ss (p1;k1) last stitches ending k1.
- Row 14: ss (k1;p1) 6 stitches. k1; * p2, slip 3 stitches on cable needle and hold to back, k3 from left needle, k3 off cable needle, p2; k1 * repeat * to * until last 6 stitches, ss (p1;k1) last 6 stitches ending k1.
- Row 16: ss (k1;p1) 6 stitches, k1; * p2; k6; p2; k1* repeat * to * until last 6 stitches, ss (p1;k1) last 6 stitches ending k1.
- Repeat rows 9-16 until the desired length.
- Final 8 rows: ss (k1;p1)
- Cast off.
Enjoy!
Until Next Time,
