Joi Winter Blanket
This comprehensive knitting pattern, designed for knitters at all skill levels, utilizes standard American knitting abbreviations to ensure clarity and ease of use.
NEEDLES: For this project, we recommend using a 10mm (US 15) circular needle with a 32-inch (80cm) cable for optimal comfort and maneuverability. For those crafting larger-sized blankets, we suggest considering a 40-inch (100cm) circular needle or larger. If preferred, you can also use long straight needles to complete your project.
YARN: Choose any natural fiber super bulky wool for this blanket pattern, such as Wool, Merino, or Alpaca. Please note that **Acrylic yarn won’t block**, which may affect your final product. The quantity of yarn needed will vary by size, ranging from 348 to 3480 yards, depending on the blanket size you choose to create.
GAUGE: Achieve a gauge of 10 stitches over 4 inches (10cm) using the 10mm needle, worked in stockinette stitch. Alternatively, you can use any size needle to obtain the same gauge if you have another preference.
SIZING: After blocking, here are the approximate dimensions of the finished blankets:
- Size 1: 24.5 x 25 inches
- Size 2: 37 x 37 inches
- Size 3: 49.5 x 49 inches
- Size 4: 62 x 60.5 inches
- Size 5: 76 x 73.5 inches
ABBREVIATIONS USED: This pattern requires a basic understanding of knitting terms, specifically: Knit (K) and Purl (P).
