Cozy Scalloped Knitted Blanket Pattern — Sock‑Yarn Throw (33"×33")
This easy-to-follow knitted blanket pattern creates a soft, scalloped lace throw that blocks out wider than it appears while knitting. The sample finished size is approximately 33" x 33" and is worked using a 12-stitch, 22-row chart repeat. The pattern is very stretchy and responds well to blocking; you can increase the blanket width in multiples of 12 stitches to make a larger piece.
Because this design uses fine sock yarn and detailed stitch shaping, a high-quality yarn is recommended for durability and good wash-and-wear. All knits are worked through the back loop (ktbl) and all purls are worked through the front loop (ptfl) unless stated otherwise. Odd rows are right side (RS), even rows are wrong side (WS).
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 you're knitting. My finished measurements are 33" x 33".
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 (4.5 mm) 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 stitch for 14 rows.
Set up Row: This is the point where I split 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 12-stitch, 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 prevent a 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 you block; this is a very stretchy pattern!
Assume all knits are ktbl, and all purls ptfl - odd rows are RS, even rows are WS.
