Graciel Winter Blanket
This versatile knitting pattern is designed using standard American knitting abbreviations, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels. Whether you're a novice or an experienced knitter, this super bulky wool blanket pattern will keep you engaged and allow you to create something cozy and beautiful.
NEEDLES: For this pattern, a 10mm (US 15) Circular Needle 32 inches (80cm) is recommended. However, if you're planning on making larger-sized blankets, consider using a 40 inch (100cm) Circular Needle or longer for added convenience. If you prefer, you may also use long straight needles, but circular needles will provide a more comfortable knitting experience, especially for larger projects.
YARN: You can choose any natural fiber super bulky wool such as wool, merino, or alpaca for this project. Please note that acrylic yarn is not recommended, as it won't block properly. You'll need between 435 and 2871 yards of yarn, depending on the size of blanket you choose to create.
GAUGE: The required gauge for this pattern is 10 stitches = 4 inches (10cm) using the 10mm needles, worked in stockinette stitch. Feel free to use any size needle that allows you to obtain the correct gauge, as achieving the right measurements is crucial for the finished product.
SIZES: The approximate dimensions after blocking are as follows:
- Size 1: 26.5 x 30 inches
- Size 2: 37 x 41 inches
- Size 3: 49 x 53 inches
- Size 4: 60 x 65 inches
- Size 5: 70 x 75.5 inches
ABBREVIATIONS USED: To successfully complete this pattern, you must know how to knit and purl. This basic skill set will allow you to navigate the pattern with ease.
PATTERN NOTES:
- This blanket is knit flat using circular needles, which means you’ll be knitting back and forth, creating a beautiful and textured piece that is perfect for keeping warm.
