Alexander's Blanket

**Knitting Pattern: Textured and Coloured Blanket**

**Available Sizes:** This beautiful blanket pattern comes in three versatile sizes: 52cm x 75cm, 70cm x 100cm, and 87cm x 125cm in 4ply yarn. For those preferring a DK weight, the dimensions are 60cm x 87cm, 80cm x 116cm, and 100cm x 145cm.

**Features:** This textured and colourful blanket can be customized in fewer colors or even created in a single shade to match your personal style and home decor. It’s perfect for knitters looking for a relaxing project that results in a stunning finished piece.

**Yarn Requirements:** You will need approximately 60% of your main colour yarn, which can be 400m, 700m, or 1100m depending on the blanket size, using 4ply, sport, or light DK weight yarn. For contrast colors, you will require 7% (50m, 80m, or 130m) of each of the two complementary colors (suggested are light and dark blue), which will be used twice. These colors are designated as CC2 and CC4 and form the middle stripes.

For the first and third stripes, you will need 14% (100m, 160m, or 260m) of two additional contrast colors, represented as CC1 and CC3. In the sample, a beautiful silver and grey combination was utilized, inviting depth and elegance to the design.

**Note:** If you choose to work with thicker yarns, be mindful that the yardage will need to be adjusted while maintaining the same proportions for a balanced appearance.

**Instructions:** This pattern features both charted and fully written instructions, making it easy to follow for knitters of all skill levels. The entire blanket is knitted in one continuous piece, including the edges, utilizing only the fundamental knit and purl stitches, making it ideal for beginners and seasoned knitters alike.
