Feather Throw

This stunning blanket not only captures the essence of the feather stitch pattern but also adds a dramatic flair to any room. Measuring a cozy 45 inches wide and 56 inches long, it's the perfect size for providing an extra layer of warmth on your bed or couch. This project is classified as easy, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels. The blanket is crafted using Yarn Weight 5, specifically with Berroco Comfort Chunky yarn — a blend of 50% nylon and 50% acrylic, providing both comfort and durability. Each ball contains 150 yards (138 meters) of yarn, and you'll need 11 balls in color #5771 driftwood heather to complete your masterpiece. For this beautiful knit blanket, you'll require Needles in size 10 ½ (6.5 mm), preferably long circular needles of at least 47 inches. As always, it's important to adjust your needle size if necessary to achieve the correct gauge. In addition to the yarn and needles, gather your Notions, including stitch markers (m), a cable needle, and a tapestry needle for finishing touches. To ensure your blanket turns out perfectly, aim for a Gauge of 14 stitches and 18 rows to achieve 4 inches in reverse stockinette stitch (rev St st).
