Bleacher Blanket
The Bleacher Blanket is the perfect companion for chilly nights at the football game, designed to warm the laps and shoulders of families or groups of friends, accommodating 3-4 adults comfortably. This long and narrow blanket not only enhances your game-day experience but is also ideal for cozy evenings at home.
Crafted in bright, bold school team colors or a chic solid color, the Bleacher Blanket is made with durable, easy-to-care-for yarn. This versatility allows you to enjoy it on the bleachers during spirited events and snuggle under it during Friday night movies and sleepovers. Whether you’re crafting it for a game day or a family gathering, this blanket is sure to become a beloved item in your knitting collection.
The blanket is worked from the bottom up using basic stitches and includes an easy-to-memorize pattern, making it simple to work on anywhere, whether at home or on the go. The yarn-overs combined with slightly larger needles result in a blanket that has excellent drape, designed for easy folding and portability. Plus, the stitch pattern extends all the way to the edge without a border, allowing you to knit until you run out of yarn. Feel free to make it longer to accommodate everyone in your bleacher row!
Additionally, this pattern includes instructions for optional ties, making it easy to fold or roll up and carry home after the game. The yarn is soft yet dense, ensuring that it keeps the chill off during those crisp evenings. The Bleacher Blanket is not only perfect for the sidelines of baseball games and football bleachers, but its versatility makes it an excellent choice for hammocks, porch swings, and park benches as well. With this pattern, you can create a functional and stylish accessory that everyone will appreciate!
