DIRECTIONS FOR SIX SIZES:
Approximate sizes after blocking…
Baby Blanket: 25” wide x 31” long
Small Blanket: 27.5” wide x 35” long
Medium Throw: 30.5” wide x 39” long
Large Throw: 33.5” wide x 43” long
XL Afghan: 36” wide x 47” long
XXL Afghan: 41.5” wide x 51” long
Finished size may vary depending on yarn weight and gauge used.
The pattern includes details about how to make any size wider or longer.
Any of the sizes may be made longer by adding pattern repeats. Each pattern repeat adds about 2” to the length of the blanket. Pattern includes estimates for additional yardage needed to make each size longer.
WORSTED #4 WEIGHT YARN:
Baby Blanket: 550 - 570 yards
Small Blanket: 680 - 710 yards
Medium Throw: 840 - 880 yards
Large Throw: 1000 - 1050 yards
XL Afghan: 1200 - 1250 yards
XXL Afghan: 1500 - 1600 yards
Be sure to buy additional yarn if you plan to add length to your project.
The pattern may also be used with slightly lighter or heavier weight yarns. Select the needle size that gives the best appearance for your yarn. Finished size and amount of yarn needed may vary depending on yarn choice and gauge….so buy extra yarn just in case!
If you prefer Super Bulky weight yarn…please see my Stones in the Road blanket knitting pattern.
GAUGE:
Stockinette stitch with US size 8 needles: approximately 17 stitches & 23 rows = 4”
Exact gauge is not essential.
I used US size 8 knitting needles…but choose the needle size that gives the best appearance with your yarn and your knitting tension.
Significantly different gauge may require more yarn.
NEEDLES:
Blankets knit flat, in one piece, back and forth on circular knitting needles in order to accommodate the large number of stitches.
SKILL LEVEL: Easy
You will need to know how to cast on stitches, knit and purl confidently, read a row by row knitting pattern, bind off stitches and weave in ends.
Blocking of finished knitting is highly recommended.
This pattern uses standard U.S. knitting terms.
Written pattern with row by row instructions.
