Ben's Blanket
Ben's Blanket Knitting Pattern
Discover the cozy charm of Ben's Blanket, a beautifully crafted knitting pattern that is both fully written and thoroughly charted. This versatile blanket can be made in one piece either flat or in the round, catering to knitters of all skill levels. Featuring only basic knit and purl stitches, this pattern is ideal for both beginners and experienced knitters looking for a relaxing project. Although it is recommended for DK weight yarn, the pattern provides detailed instructions by stitch and row, allowing for the use of any yarn. Just keep in mind that using a slightly smaller needle size may change the yardage and overall size of the finished blanket.
Yarn Requirements: You'll need 650m, 1100m, or 1750m of DK weight yarn, depending on the size you choose. For optimal results, use 3.75mm needles and have a yarn needle on hand. Tension: Ensure a tension of 20 stitches x 30 rows measured across the entire blanket to achieve the best results.
Size Options: The blanket comes in multiple sizes: 60x82cm, 80x105cm, 99x140cm, or a cozy 95cm square for the round version. Whether you want a throw for your sofa or a larger blanket for your bed, you'll find the perfect fit.
