Ferne Winter Blanket
This comprehensive knitting pattern is designed using standard American knitting abbreviations, making it accessible and easy to follow for knitters of all skill levels.
NEEDLES: Use 10mm (US 15) circular needles, ideally 32 inches (80cm) for optimal crafting. For larger-sized blankets, we recommend upgrading to a 40 inch (100cm) circular needle or even larger to accommodate the increased stitches. If you prefer, long straight needles can also be utilized for this project.
YARN: Choose any natural fiber super bulky wool, such as Wool, Merino, or Alpaca. Keep in mind that acrylic yarn will not block properly, so it’s best to stick with natural fibers for this project. You will need approximately 348 to 2610 yards, depending on the size of the blanket you choose to knit.
GAUGE: To ensure your blanket turns out just right, aim for a gauge of 10 stitches = 4 inches (10 cm) using 10mm needles, worked in stockinette stitch. Alternatively, you can use any needle size as long as you achieve the proper gauge for your project.
SIZE: The approximate dimensions of the finished blanket after blocking are as follows:
- Size 1 - Measures 25 x 29 inches
- Size 2 - Measures 35.5 x 40.5 inches
- Size 3 - Measures 46 x 52 inches
- Size 4 - Measures 56 x 63 inches
- Size 5 - Measures 67 x 74 inches
