Winters Lull

Discover the charm of the Winters Lull blanket, expertly designed to serve as a cozy baby blanket, but it quickly became a favorite throw for adults, thanks to the request from my husband! Winters Lull is incredibly quick and straightforward to knit, making it a perfect project for both beginners and experienced knitters alike.

This versatile pattern offers two size options: a quaint Baby Blanket measuring 34” x 33” and a larger Throw at 36” x 44”. Plus, you can easily adjust the dimensions to create a custom size that fits your needs. The beautiful lace design looks stunning whether blocked or unblocked, allowing for flexibility in your finishing process. While the pattern is optimized for bulky or super bulky yarns, you can also achieve lovely results using doubled worsted or aran weight yarn. Best of all, the lace instructions are provided in both written and charted formats, catering to all knitting preferences.

The recommended yarn weight for the Winters Lull blanket is Bulky / 12 ply (7 wpi) – perfect for creating a warm, inviting texture. To achieve the best results, aim for a gauge of 10 stitches per 4 inches. Use a US 13 (9.0 mm) needle size to ensure your project works up quickly and maintains that cozy feel.

In terms of yardage, you'll need approximately 400 to 620 yards (366 to 567 meters) of your chosen yarn to complete either the Baby Blanket or the Throw. With its charming design and customizable features, the Winters Lull blanket is sure to become a cherished item in any home.

Whether you’re a seasoned knitter looking for a cute project or a beginner eager to take on your first lace pattern, the Winters Lull blanket is the perfect choice. Get started on your cozy creation today!
