Knitted Adorable Blankets

Knitted adorable blankets are like a warm hug from a loved one, wrapping you in coziness and comfort. The intricate patterns and soft textures make them not just blankets but cherished companions on chilly nights. Whether you prefer pastel hues for a gentle touch or bold colors for a statement piece, knitted blankets add a touch of handmade charm to any space. So, snuggle up with one of these delightful creations and let their warmth melt away your worries.

Notes: You can increase the width by adding in increments of 12.

This pattern does block out much wider than it appears to be as your knitting. My finished measurements are 33"x33".

I chose to use high quality sock yarn because of its wash and wear. This is not something I would suggest cheaping out on, though you could really use any yarn you wish.

All stitches should be made on the twist, meaning you're either knitting through the back or purling through the front. This allows for the proper lilt in the stitches.

I have charted row 22, but in order for it to work out see the detailed notes on Row 22, I put a reminder on the chart next to row 22 should you forget ;)

Tools: 

• Size US 7 32in circular needles
• 2 skeins of Tosh Sock (or any desired *quality sock yarn) for MC
• 1 skein of Tosh Sock (or other quality sock yarn) for CC
• Tapestry needle
• Stitch markers (optional)

Pattern:

Key:

In order from top to bottom (since I can't seem to make it work out to the side :)

Ktbl on RS, Ptfl on WS - YO - Ptfl on RS, Ktbl on WS - K2tog tbl on RS, P2tog tfl on WS

In Contrasting Color (CC) CO 188 stitches

Knit in garter st for 14 rows

Set up Row: This is the point where I split the the CC yarn and pulled from both ends, you may choose to initially split the yarn and wind two balls instead of pulling from one. From this point on the first and last 10 sts are in the CC knit in garter stitch, be sure to wrap your yarn accordingly when joining with MC.

K 10 in CC, join MC, [Yo, k2tog, (p1, k1) five times] K10 in CC

Row 2: K10 in CC start on Row 2 of the 12st, 22 row chart repeat.

Rows 3-21: Follow chart

Row 22: (WS) M1 [(k1, p1) x5, yo, p2tog] until last two sts of repeat, DO NOT YO, p2tog

The purpose of this is to keep there from being a weird break in the pattern, allowing for the scallops to be continuous.

Continue with rows 1-22 of chart until desired length (or you're almost out of yarn ending on either row 11 or 22)

To finish K 14 Rows garter stitch in CC - BO - Weave in your ends.

Don't be afraid to stretch as your blocking, this is a very stretchy pattern!
