York Minster
Introducing our stunning blanket inspired by the exquisite stained glass windows of York Minster, now available in three convenient size options! Crafted using four jewel-toned shades of Dovestone DK, this blanket features elegant dark grey borders in Coal. Constructed from simple garter stitch squares, this design is perfect for novice knitters, requiring only basic knit stitches along with straightforward increases and decreases. Whether you’re an experienced crafter or just starting your knitting journey, this blanket is a delightful project.
This cozy blanket is available in three sizes: small (medium, large), measuring 68x79 cm (27x31 inches), 90x112 cm (35.5x44 inches), and 112x134 cm (44x53 inches). The versatile sizes make it an ideal choice for any space—whether you want a decorative throw for your sofa, a snug cover for your bed, or a thoughtful gift for a loved one.
The blanket showcased in the images uses 1 skein each of 5 vibrant Dovestone DK colours: Coal, Rhubarb, Chevin, Lotherton, and Parkin. There is minimal yarn leftover, so if you aim to create this size using only one skein of each colour, be sure to knit with precise tension. You can even use your tension square as one of the blanket squares to ensure the perfect fit!
To complete your small (medium, large) blanket, you’ll need 1 (2, 3) skeins of Dovestone DK in each of the 5 stunning colours, which totals approximately 320m (640m, 1280m) of DK weight yarn. The combination of chocolate and jewel tones not only makes for a visually striking piece but also layers warmth and richness into your home decor.
Additionally, you will require a 4mm/US 8 circular needle, with a minimum length of 80cm/32". The design is flexible, allowing you to work on it comfortably in the round. Start your knitting adventure today and create a beautiful blanket that echoes the timeless beauty of York Minster’s stained glass!
