This stunning blanket is knit using super bulky weight yarn, allowing for quick completion on large, comfortable needles. You’ll find yourself immersed in creativity as you work flat, back and forth, using US size 15 circular knitting needles.
Our user-friendly pattern employs standard U.S. knitting terminology and features comprehensive, row-by-row instructions, ensuring that you can easily follow along from start to finish. Perfect for both beginners and seasoned knitters, this pattern offers a rewarding knitting experience that results in a lovely throw blanket for your home.
With detailed directions for five sizes, you can create a blanket that fits perfectly in your space:

- Medium: 43” wide x 45” long

Yarn Requirements: This pattern uses super bulky yarn, and the required yardage varies by size:

For best results, we recommend achieving a gauge of approximately 8 stitches and 12 rows per 4 inches in stockinette stitch using US size 15 needles. In the photos, I used Lion Brand Hometown USA in the beautiful color "Dallas Grey," though this pattern also pairs wonderfully with Lion Brand Thick & Quick yarn for different texture and visual appeal.
To ensure a satisfying finish, blocking the completed blanket is highly recommended. Transform your space with this charming and functional knitted blanket that will keep you warm and cozy, making it the perfect addition to your knitting project collection!
