KAL Baby Throw

Discover Ann Franklin’s stunning throw KAL, beautifully crafted in soft Deramores Studio Baby DK yarn. Initially published in six engaging parts in Simply Knitting magazine, this unique blanket pattern invites you to explore your knitting skills. Although the original yarn has been discontinued, fear not! This versatile blanket can be knitted using approximately 2000m of any suitable double knitting (DK) yarn, making it accessible to a wide range of knitters.

This gorgeous throw features a delightful combination of 28 different stitch patterns, each skillfully knitted across the width of the blanket in elegant stripes. It serves as a fantastic opportunity to practice and master a variety of stitches, allowing you to potentially discover new favorites along the way. Whether you're a beginner eager to expand your skills or an experienced knitter looking for a satisfying project, this blanket offers something for everyone.

While many of the stitch patterns utilized in this blanket may result in slightly different tension, particularly for row counts compared to standard stocking stitch, there's no need to stress about completing separate tension squares for each pattern. As long as your tension for stocking stitch is accurate, the overall sizing of your blanket will align perfectly with the pattern specifications.

Additionally, while you may choose any method to cast on or off, we highly recommend using the crochet cast on and cable cast off techniques. When used in tandem, these methods create beautifully matching cast-on and cast-off edges, ensuring a polished finish for your throw. This thoughtful detail will elevate your project and showcase your knitting prowess.

Join the knitting community today and take on this exciting project—it’s more than just a blanket; it’s a journey through a rich tapestry of knitting skills and creativity!
