My current W.I.P

It's a simple blanket pattern: Can use any thickness of yarn and needles. Any number of sts to c/o and work as many rows in each colour as you want...best to work it out first though!

I'm using oddments of DK yarn from my stash and 3.75mm needles

c/o 72 sts work in gst throughout

1. k34, K2tog twice, k34

2. k

3. k33, k2tog twice, k33

4.k

continue to decrease 2 sts in centre of alternate rows until last row has 2 sts, k2 tog and fasten off.

I worked the pattern in stripes of 8 rows, alternating a light and dark colour.

It has grown since I took this photo...I've managed a square each night as a treat after studying, now I'm study free I'll fly through it!!

Geometric Blanket

This is a recent blanket I designed...simple enough to do. In fact I'm sure that most knitters will be able to get the pattern just from these photos. If anyone makes my free patterns I would love to see your work too.

Here is the pattern:

Garter Stitch blanket pattern

I had been messing around with ideas a few years ago and came up with this very simple pattern:


Free Blanket Pattern

Yarn:
Approx 200g DK of any colour (it also looks nice by alternating 2 colours, mc with smaller needles and cc with larger needles)

Needles:
1 pair 3.25mm
1 pair 5mm

Tension:
Not important. Increase/decrease sts if required. Needle sizes can be changed also for different effects of the small/large stitches.

Pattern:

Cast on 120sts with 3.25mm needles

Gst 8 rows

* Change to 5mm needles

Gst 8 rows

Change to 3.25 mm needles

Gst 8 rows**

Repeat from * to ** until blanket is the desired length.

Using 3.25mm needles cast off.


Do not sell this pattern, it is free for all.
