Southwest Sunset Blanket
Are you ready to create a cozy and stylish blanket perfect for any living space? This easy knit blanket pattern utilizes the luxurious Safari Chunky yarn, size 10.5 knitting needles, and features a simple 2-row repeat that makes it a great choice for both beginner and experienced knitters alike. The blanket has charming pointed ends, each adorned with small fringes crafted from just 3 strands of yarn. Thanks to the chunky nature of the yarn and the straightforward 2-row repeat, this project works up quickly—ideal for knitting while binging your favorite television show or listening to a podcast, as I often do!
The dimensions of this beautiful blanket measure 50” x 60” (127 cm x 152.4 cm), but don’t worry if you want a different size; this pattern can be easily customized to fit your needs. Each panel consists of 16 stitches, allowing for straightforward adjustments to create a larger or smaller blanket as desired. To make your crafting experience even more enjoyable, I've prepared a short video tutorial that guides you through the pattern, including tips on where to place stitch markers, how to bind off in pattern, and the technique for attaching the fringe.
For this project, I used just under 5 cakes of King Cole Safari Chunky yarn in the stunning color “Sunset,” which adds a warm and vibrant touch to the finished product. Whether you're making it for yourself, as a gift, or to enhance your home decor, this knit blanket promises both comfort and style. Dive into this easy and enjoyable knitting project today!
