Little Pony Blanket

Introducing a delightfully cosy and unique knitted blanket/throw featuring adorable little ponies, perfect for snuggling up on the sofa with your little one on chilly evenings. This charming blanket not only adds warmth and comfort to your home but also serves as a whimsical decoration for any child’s room.

This easy-to-knit design caters to both beginners and experienced knitters, featuring simple stocking stitch and a user-friendly coloured intarsia chart to follow for creating the beautiful multicoloured ponies. The project incorporates a lovely moss stitch border around the blanket, which you knit as you go along. This clever technique helps prevent the edges from curling, ensuring a polished finish to your work.

To get started on this enchanting project, you will need a circular needle size of 5 mm (UK6 – US8) that is 100 cm long. The blanket is knitted back and forth on the circular needle, allowing for flexibility and ease of handling while working on larger pieces.

Pay attention to the tension as you knit; you should achieve 18 stitches and 24 rows to 10 cm (4 inches) over the stocking stitch. This is important for ensuring your blanket has the right dimensions and cozy texture.

Full instructions are provided for utilizing a mix of stranded knitting and intarsia techniques to create the vibrant ponies that will captivate your child's imagination. Whether you're an experienced knitter or a beginner looking to tackle a fun, new project, this blanket is sure to bring joy and warmth into your home.
