Knitting a Blanket

Article Category: Entertainment

Author Name: Peter Locuratolo

Knitting is one of the most fascinating hobbies of all time. Almost every home boasts of knitted itmes, like sweaters, scarves, washcloths and blankets.

Learning how to knit requires that you completely understand the fundamental elements of knitting and master the fundamental stitches and the technique of binding off. Some knitters gain knowledge from a book and some through practice or frequent consultations from other knitters.

If you are a knitter finishing your early stages of knitting, you might find yourself having the urge to knit a nice, warm blanket for your family. Blankets are colorful, appealing and very functional. Some of the most popular knitted blankets come in plain, patched and striped designs.

Learning how to knit a blanket is very fascinating, especially when the knitting pattern becomes complex and when stitches become more advanced. When you knit, you continuously carry out particular stitches through your needles and yarn until you accomplish the desired knitted item.

For blankets, beginners can venture into creating simple patterns on their first attempt. Knitting an blanket is just like any other knitting task that requires you to be capable enough to do the stitches appropriate for the design you want to achieve.

It is recommended that when you start your blanket knitting project, choose a pattern that you can execute and accomplish. Some of the common blanket designs that you can experiment with and try are the plain, patched and striped blankets.

Patch blankets can be carried out once you have mastered the art of cast on, cast off and binding off your knits. Additional knowledge on purls can yield a more visually complex design for your blanket.

You can start your patch blanket by choosing the proper size of the patches and the size of the blanket, which is often obtained from the main purpose or the use of the blanket. The blanket size is determined by the number of patches. The length and width of your blanket will usually be different so you can expect varying number of patches. Once you have determined the right size, you can
proceed with the knitting proper.

After you have created the required number patches, you can start sewing them together to get the final product.

Plain blankets can be started by casting off your stitches. You can start working for a number of garter stitches and a custom number of alternating knits and purls. Continue working on your stitches until you have reached the desired length and then cast off.

Striped blankets can be made of afghan stitches and varying stripe colors. This time, you will need to finish stripes instead of patches and then sew them together. You can add fringes as desired.

Knitting an blanket can take several weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the knitting pattern you have selected. The basic knitting stitches can already be used to create simple blankets. As you continuously polish with your knitting skills, you can start working on blanket patterns that are more detailed and complicated.

Making a blanket through knitting can be really tedious, but once you have achieved the expected result, you might find yourself starting on another blanket knitting project very soon.

Happy knitting!
