Patchwork Throw Blanket Pattern

Leave a comment

I’ve been working on creating a throw blanket pattern for the past few months. It’s gone through a few different iterations in that time. Started out using Caron Chunky Cakes in a lovely blue variegated color way for one of my grandmothers’ birthday:

I loved working with the yarn and was set to make another blanket for my other grandmother whose birthday is a few weeks later. Until I went to the store and there wasn’t any. I found the Caron Tea Cakes with enough balls in the same color way, so I thought I would just switch to developing the pattern in that yarn. You know, until someone informed me that yarn has been discontinued for years:

The original yarn I developed this pattern with seems to be on its way out, or in any case is really tough to find. I was informed that the replacement I got that this one is made of was apparently discontinued over 2 years ago. So going to have to re-test knit, tweak a few things, and then use that one to take pictures for the pattern. But this one is finished, finally! Going to take a break before starting the next one and get some other projects done, catch up on the Happy Little Stitch Along (I’m so behind!), and give my wrists a bit of a a break because all that chunky yarn gets really heavy once you get through some repeats. The new yarn seems a bit lighter, too, so hopefully that helps a bit with the weight of the blanket as I work it. ——————————————————— #knitting #blanket #patternwriting

So I switched yarns again to one I know will be in stock, Loops and Threads Charisma, specifically the Big! version because it took fewer balls:

Now the pattern is finally finished! I have it listed in my Ravelry shop for $1 if you are a Ravelry user, or you can buy it right now by clicking this button:
