Little M Blanket
Little M Blanket is a delightful knitting project perfect for utilizing leftover yarns. While I have used a variety of colors from the same yarn line, feel free to experiment with any type of yarn that inspires you!
Construction Overview:
The pattern consists of three main sections. The first section begins at one corner, where you'll create a beautiful triangle shape by increasing stitches on both edges. This section sets the foundation for the cozy design.
The middle section transforms the shape into a parallelogram. This is achieved by maintaining increased stitches on one edge while gradually decreasing stitches on the opposite edge, adding depth and dimension to your blanket.
The end section mirrors the beginning. You'll decrease stitches on both edges until they taper off into a final corner, creating another triangle shape that complements the first section perfectly. This symmetrical finish adds a nice touch to your blanket.
This straightforward pattern is not only easy to follow but also allows for size adjustments, making it versatile for various needs.
Please note that the same amount of yarn is required for both the beginning and ending triangle-shaped sections, ensuring a consistent weight and texture throughout the project.
Finished Dimensions: This pattern is designed to fit one size, which can be easily modified. The blanket measures approximately 60 cm in width and 110 cm in length, making it ideal for snuggling or decorative purposes.
You can choose any kind of yarn for this project, as it allows for creativity and personalization. Just remember that equal amounts of yarn are used for sections one and three.
Needle Size: A 3 mm circular needle is recommended for this pattern.
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 21 stitches by 20 rows to measure 10 cm in garter stitch, ensuring your project turns out beautifully.
Notions: Be sure to have stitch markers and a tapestry needle on hand, as they will assist you in keeping track of your stitches and sewing in loose ends.
With the Little M Blanket, you can create a cozy and stylish addition to your home, all while practicing your knitting skills and using up your yarn stash. Start your knitting journey today and enjoy the process as much as the finished product!
