Fibonacci Blanket

Introducing a delightful stripy blanket inspired by the Fibonacci Sequence! The Fibonacci Sequence, a fascinating series of numbers starting with 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, and so on, provides a unique and visually appealing pattern for knitters. Each number in this series is the sum of the two preceding numbers, and this natural mathematical rhythm translates beautifully into an eye-catching striped design for your blanket.

For a while now, I’ve been eager to create a project that seamlessly integrates the Fibonacci sequence into stripes, as I have always admired its aesthetic appeal. The thought of crafting a blanket in a solid fabric felt a bit daunting, but using the Fibonacci numbers as a basis for my stripe pattern has truly transformed the experience into something enjoyable and manageable.

This sample was knitted using a soft bamboo/cotton yarn, which offers a wonderful stretch and drape. However, feel free to get creative and substitute with other yarn fibers such as wool or acrylic, depending on your preferences and the desired texture of your blanket. Whether you choose a warm wool or a lively acrylic, this design will shine through.

For ease of knitting and to prevent the frustration of dropping stitches, I recommend using 32”/80cm circular needles. That said, if you prefer traditional knitting methods, this project can easily be worked on straight needles as well.

Get ready to embark on a joyful knitting journey with this Fibonacci-inspired blanket pattern, perfect for any knitting enthusiast looking to add a touch of mathematical beauty to their home decor. Start crafting today and enjoy the rhythmic experience of creating stripes that reflect the wonders of nature!
