Jelly Roll Blanket
The inspiration for my delightful Jelly Roll Blanket originated on a chilly November day while I was flipping through a book of quilt patterns. With the intention of creating a special quilt for my daughter, a stunning design captured my attention, instantly sparking creativity.
Upon seeing the design, the thought struck me: "Could I knit a version of this beautiful quilt?" The idea snowballed from there! The Jelly Roll Quilt design ignited a flurry of creativity, motivating me to transform the concept into a cozy knitted blanket that reflects warmth and love.
After many joyful hours of knitting and designing, my Jelly Roll Blanket came to life - it's like me wrapped up in a soft, colorful embrace! The best part? I chose to knit my blanket using fingering weight yarn for a delicate touch, but feel free to experiment with any yarn weight you prefer. Just ensure you maintain a consistent yarn weight throughout the entire blanket to achieve a unified look.
One of the standout features of this pattern is the seamless technique used; the strips of color are added directly as you knit, which means NO seaming is required! This makes the process not only enjoyable but also efficient, allowing you to see your blanket grow without the hassle of sewing pieces together.
To further enhance your knitting journey, the pattern includes four comprehensive video tutorials that guide you through each technique needed to create the Jelly Roll Blanket from start to finish. Whether you're a novice or an experienced knitter, these tutorials will make the process smooth and user-friendly.
PATTERN UPDATE FEB 2024: Exciting news! I've now included detailed information on how to knit this blanket using a DK weight yarn, providing even more versatility for your crafting preferences.
