Fishing For Koi blanket

Fishing For Koi is a stunning and vibrant throw blanket designed to elevate your home decor while keeping you cozy and warm. Crafted using DK weight yarn held double stranded (or a single strand of Aran or Bulky weight yarn), this blanket allows for flexibility in your yarn choice. Perfect for knitters looking to experiment, it incorporates up to ten beautiful colours, showcasing a blend of shades that bring life to any room.

This delightful project features garter stitch short rows that are skillfully arranged to create a dynamic, angling pattern that balances left and right. The result is a dramatic visual impact that not only enhances the blanket's texture but also opens up exciting possibilities for colour combinations. With its unique design, Fishing For Koi is an ideal project for using up those odd skeins of yarn that may be languishing in your stash—those lonely balls of yarn will find their perfect place in this creative endeavor!

The Main Colour yarn serves as a unifying element in the design, acting as a breaker and leading line throughout the project. Meanwhile, the Contrast Colours—nine vibrant shades—feature prominently as the triangular segments, creating a playful and engaging aesthetic that runs consistently across the entire blanket.

This pattern is not only an excellent choice for your knitting projects, but it is also a fantastic way to explore colour theory and yarn techniques. Whether you're a beginner looking to dive into your first blanket project or an experienced knitter eager for a new challenge, Fishing For Koi promises to be a rewarding and fun experience.
