It's easy to knit a stylish blanket with knitting needles. If you know how to knit a scarf, then you can easily knit a blanket for your cozy home. Here are 3 ways to knit a blanket. Who prefers what? It is better to decide on this question, so to speak, on the shore, before setting sail, that is, knitting. To make the journey enjoyable and the result amazing.
1. Blanket knitted with circular knitting needles.
This is a wise choice of tool, since the blade is large, and keeping it suspended all the time is not an exciting prospect.
1) This blue blanket is knitted with cables.
Blue plaid braids The motif of the pattern is extremely simple, 6 knit loops for the braid and 6 purl loops for the path between the braids, again 6 knit loops, etc.
Braid pattern I love knitting braids and plaits, it turns out quickly. Like here, knit 4 rows, make a braid weave, knit 4 more rows, make a weave again, look, I’ve already knitted 5 centimeters. It’s convenient to count, not nervous, the drawing is voluminous, the canvas is soft and beautiful.
Blue plaid pattern scheme 
Now, we already have something to warm our knees. This is what it looks like after a couple of days, depending on who you are, of course. Now it’s autumn and the blanket will be ready for the winter cold, but now, on rainy autumn days, you can cover your knees with your half-blanket while working. Cosy.
2) Blue and beige blankets with fringe are also knitted with circular knitting needles
But instead of embossed braids, a pattern is chosen here. This is good because both the back and the face will have the same rights.

Beige plaid Description of how to knit a blue or beige blanket with fringe:
Pattern for blue and beige plaid with fringe:
Note: It was suggested in the comments that there was a typo in the description of the fringed blanket in the weight of the skein of yarn. I would like to explain why these sizes are indicated.
Here are options on how to knit a blanket using knitting needles from two different types of yarn. You will get such a blanket using one yarn and another. The cunning alpaca, present in the first version, fluffs the thread. A skein of such yarn is light and voluminous, and it feels like petting a kitten. There is a peculiarity when knitting. The thread seems to be stretched, it is very plastic, and in finished product It folds up a little and the canvas becomes more voluminous. And in the second version there is no alpaca yarn for the blanket, but almost 80% acrylic. Acrylic is a more organized thread, does not stretch and is not as light. This is the secret.
A magazine offering patterns for blankets wants to show that you need to approach knitting creatively, choose what you like, read recommendations for choosing yarn and knitting needle numbers, but check everything on samples.
I took photos of different yarns and samples. I can't insert a photo in the comments, so I had to do it in the article.
So, for example, for alpaca yarn from Pekhorka, with a thread weight and length almost like in a magazine (there is more alpaca in the composition, and therefore more fluffiness), 4mm knitting needles are recommended. But in the reviews I see both 3mm and 4.5mm.
And a photo of the yarn and a sample with 50% wool and 50% acrylic yarn. This is exactly the 50/50 yarn for Alena, who raised the issue of a typo and asked what knitting needles to use. Question in the comments at the bottom of the article.
Only the sample you knit will help you understand how much yarn and what knitting needles you will need to knit a blanket.
3) A stole that acts as a blanket.
I knitted this stole a long time ago, but never used it as a stole, but as a blanket, it has taken root with us, it’s just a pity that I didn’t immediately think of knitting it wider. Although the description said that this pattern would look good on a bedspread or blanket.
Even our cats find it a bit cramped to huddle on such a narrow product.
Cats on a blanket Take a closer look at this pattern, it is good because the reverse side is also attractive, it is mirror-like to the face, only where there is a convexity on the face, there is a concavity on the reverse side.
I have attached a diagram according to which I knitted a stole; for a blanket it is not necessary to knit corners with tassels, so you can start knitting right from the 53rd row, and you need to calculate how many loops you need to pick up for your blanket according to the usual pattern. Cast on 15-20 loops, knit in a pattern, close, wash, dry and count in the middle part of the sample how many loops are in a centimeter. I did just that, since I knitted not with cotton, but with wool blend yarn.
4) Cozy blanket with a heart.

Knitting something like a blanket with knitting needles is a painstaking task. Not every craftswoman can cope with it. But it’s worth it, because a hand-knitted blanket has a special energy and beauty.
Such a product will not only be an elegant interior decoration, but also reliable protection from the winter cold - covered with it, it will be so pleasant to spend time reading your favorite book or drinking a cup of hot tea.
Features of knitting a blanket
A blanket is one of the pleasant household items. Sitting in a chair in the company of a warm, cozy blanket, knitted by hand or by hand loved one– what could be better than this, especially in the cold season. In addition, as the photo of the knitted blanket shows, the blanket self made can become a luxurious decorative detail.
It is customary to highlight the following advantages of this hand-knitted product:
- aesthetics;
- practicality;
- functionality;
- uniqueness;
- environmental friendliness.
Patterns and instructions for proper knitting can be found on the Internet. When you decide to knit a blanket yourself, remember an important point - you shouldn’t skimp on yarn. An item knitted from low-quality threads will not last long.
Knitting options
Today there are many ways to knit a blanket. This is knitting from squares, knitting with braids and much more. Quite popular is knitting a blanket from leftover threads. Which option to choose depends only on your desire.
Many needlewomen prefer knitting from individual motifs. It is considered the simplest and most convenient. You can knit this way in any environment - at home, at work, on the bus, in the subway. The disadvantage of knitting from motifs is the final assembly of the product. But still this The best way knitting for beginners.
We knit a blanket. Large knitting
This year's fashion trend is blankets and bedspreads made of thick threads. It's not very practical, but it's stylish. It is better to use tops or combed ribbon as yarn.
Advantages of this product:
- the ability to knit not only with knitting needles, but also with your hands;
- softness, airiness and lightness;
- raw wool yarn adds style.
Disadvantages include:
- During knitting, the top may tear, because it is not a finished yarn.
- The threads are very fluffy, can break up into individual fibers and, as a result, get tangled. This makes knitting very difficult.
- Items made from combed tape are difficult to care for: washing is prohibited.
Tops can be replaced with spun ones wool threads. It will be easier to knit with them. This blanket holds its shape much longer. It is washable. In addition, the spun yarn almost does not tear or fray.
In addition to threads, you will need special thick knitting needles. Detailed description You can see how to knit a blanket with your own hands in specialized magazines and on the Internet.
Bedspread made of squares
This option is optimal for those who have just recently started knitting. Making small squares is much easier than making a huge sheet. In addition, this method is a kind of “insurance” against making mistakes. It is easier to re-knit an incorrectly knitted motif than to remake a large bedspread.
Another advantage is the ability to knit in any situation, because the fragments are small and can easily fit in a bag. In addition to all of the above, for each fragment you can choose your own pattern, pattern, and threads.
In other words, knitting from squares will make all your fantasies come true. This is a good training for various styles of knitting.
Cozy blanket made from leftover threads
If you are not new to knitting, then you probably have quite a lot of leftover threads. There is no way to get rid of them, but what to do with them is the question. Motif knitting allows you to put everything on the blanket. The different texture of the yarn used will only emphasize the originality of the product.
For example, a fragment of plush surrounded by segments knitted from grass in combination with sectors made of wool will look very elegant and stylish. And, if you have threads of the same texture, but in different colors, then you can make a wonderful double-sided blanket.
Whatever master class on knitting a blanket you choose, the basic order of work is as follows:
- Calculation of the required number of loops.
- Selecting a primary and secondary pattern.
- Calculation required quantity yarn.
- Only after this can you start knitting.

Patterns and descriptions of knitting a blanket
The choice of blanket models, as well as patterns and methods of knitting them, is huge. It is also worth paying attention to whether the warm blanket is knitted for adults, or for children - after all, this is also an important criterion for selecting yarn and patterns. For the little ones, blankets must be knitted according to certain rules - we will definitely tell you about them. In general, it’s an art to knit a good blanket. Let's try to understand it and consider both the easiest knitting master classes and more intricate options for knitting blankets.
Master class for beginners
Beginning knitters should definitely start by studying the most understandable and simple options knitting blankets. Consider a master class for beginners on knitting a blanket.
This blanket model is perfect for newborns or adult children. The blanket turns out pleasant, tender and soft. And knitting it with knitting needles will not be difficult because of the knitting method taken as a basis: a simple double-sided pattern of knit and purl loops, as well as for the edge of the product.
- What you will need
Yarn:“Svetlana” produced by “Semyonovskaya Yarn”, 250 m / 100 g, 50% wool, 50% acrylic.
Yarn consumption: 350 g.
Tools: circular knitting needles No. 3, knitting needle.
Knitting density: main knitting Pg = 2.25 loops in 1 cm, Pv = 3.2; garter stitch Pg = 2.14 stitches per cm, Pv = 4.3 rows per 1 cm.

- Calculating loops
To calculate the number of loops that need to be cast on the knitting needles for knitting a blanket, it is necessary to determine the knitting density of the main and garter stitch. Find out more about how to determine knitting density.
When calculating loops, we must take into account the desired size of the product and pattern repeat. As for the size, the standard size of a baby diaper is 80 x 80 cm, we will focus on it. We need the pattern on the blanket to be symmetrical. Therefore, you need to add loops to whole repeats for symmetry of the pattern. You also need to take into account the width of the slats along the edge of the blanket. We will knit strips 2.5 cm wide, this is 7 loops (including the edge stitch). This means that with the main knitting we need to knit 80 - 6 = 74 cm. One repeat of the main pattern is equal to 18 loops or 8 cm. For symmetry, we need to add half a repeat, i.e. 9 loops or 4 cm. It turns out that for whole repeats there are 74 - 4 = 70 cm. Let's determine the number of whole repeats: 70: 8 = 8.75, round to the nearest whole, we get 9 repeats. So, number of main stitches:
9 (number of whole repeats) x 18 (number of loops in a repeat) + 9 (number of loops for pattern symmetry) +7 (number of loops for one strip) x 2 = 185 loops.
But we know that the knitting density (Pg) of finishing garter stitch is less than the main one. This means that so that the bar along the bottom is not too loose and does not look stretched, we need to recalculate the loops.
Let's clarify the final size of the blanket: 185 (number of loops) x 2.25 (Pg of main knitting) = 82 cm.
Now let's define how many stitches need to be cast on the knitting needles:
82 (piece size) x 2.14 (pg garter stitch) = 175 loops.
- Basic pattern
Double-sided “cage” pattern of knit and purl loops with a relief texture. Pattern repeat: 18 loops wide, 24 rows long. To knit a sample pattern, cast on the knitting needles a multiple of 18 stitches plus 2 edge stitches.
Diagram and description:
- classic knit stitch in the knit row, unless otherwise indicated in the pattern description. In the purl row, this is how the purl loop is indicated.
- classic purl loop in the front row, unless otherwise indicated in the text. In the purl row this is how the front loop is designated.
1st, 3rd, 9th, 11th row: * 9 knit, 9 purl *;
All purl (even) rows are knitted according to the pattern;
5th, 7th row: * 3 knit, 3 purl *;
13th, 15th, 21st, 23rd row: * 9 purl, 9 knit*;
17th, 19th row: * 3 purl, 3 knit *.
The pattern is repeated from the 1st to the 24th row.
- Progress
We put 175 stitches on the knitting needles using the basic method and knit 11 rows in garter stitch. We’ll decorate the edge a little differently than usual: we won’t remove the first stitch in the row, but we’ll knit the knit stitch behind back wall.
Fig. 1: The working thread is wound down and back. Fig. 2: The loop is knitted behind the back wall of the front We knit the last loop in the row as usual, using a knit stitch.
In this case, the edge of the edge will stretch more. Considering that the horizontal knitting density (Pg) of the main knit is less than that of the finishing knit, this will allow the bar to stretch and compensate for the difference.
If the knitting density of the main and finishing knits differs significantly, we recommend knitting the bar in shortened rows.
In the 11th row we will make straight yarn overs to add loops. We make additions evenly. We knit 11 loops (including the edge loop), make a straight yarn over, and then make yarn overs through 18 loops (pattern repeat). In total there will be 10 yarn overs along the length of the part. In the next row we move on to the main pattern. At the beginning and end of the row we knit 7 loops in garter stitch and then with the main pattern. We knit the yarn overs behind the back wall, without openwork, so that the increase is unnoticeable.
In order for the blanket to be square in height, we need to knit 11 repeats (264 rows) with the main pattern. In the last row we decrease 10 loops in the same places where we added them, knitting two loops together with a tilt to the left. We tie the bar and close the row in the classic way.
Product for newborns
It is a very important and responsible task to knit a blanket for a newborn. Whether it's a gift to a loved one's family or to yourself for your baby's first birthday, there are a few things you need to consider. important points when knitting the first warm blanket in a baby’s life.

Plaid of squares
It is also successfully used in knitting - for this purpose, pre-knitted motifs with different patterns are sewn or knitted into a single product. This knitting method is very popular, so you should definitely try knitting a blanket from squares with knitting needles. This is not difficult to do.
Options for knitting a blanket of this typequite a lot, as well as design solutions with which you can “revive” it: make traditional squares of all possible colors, or choose only a few harmonious shades of yarn for a blanket. Some knit blankets from squares in a single color, focusing only on the variety of patterns of connected motifs. The squares themselves can be flat, or they can be decorated with convex elements, which will also add patchwork charm to the finished product.
We have selected an “advanced” version of knitting a blanket in squares, so that it would be interesting for experienced knitters as well. It will take a little more time and effort, but the result is definitely worth it.

Working with motifs in crocheting a baby blanket
A warm children's soft blanket, knitted from motifs, will be the most tender and pleasant gift for a baby.
It will take a couple of evenings to make a children's blanket from motifs. Despite its size, approximately 1 m * 1 m, this blanket of motifs is knitted quickly and easily. This work will be suitable for both experienced knitters and beginners in knitting. Below is a step-by-step master class “Crochet baby blanket”, a diagram and description will help you quickly master the technique.
The material that will be needed in the master class on creating a children's blanket, namely a pattern of motifs: yarn (you can use leftovers) - acrylic, half-wool, wool. In 100 g no more than 240 m; hook - 4.5, scissors, needle, thread for connecting motifs.
Abbreviations:
- Вп – air loop;
- Sc – single crochet;
- С1н – double crochet.
When crocheting a baby blanket, you need to knit loosely, as the edges and tops of the blanket may end up skewed. The blanket consists of two parts. The first is the inner part of the motifs (4 square motifs), the second part is the crocheting of the motifs. Each of the four motifs is knitted according to pattern 1.
A square motif is knitted. You need to put a chain of 5 chains on your hook.
The chain is closed with a half-column and 2 ch are knitted.
You need to yarn over the hook and knit 1h into the ring of the chain. 2 such columns are knitted.
Another 3 stitches are knitted.
Work 3 ch again. This will be the second vertex of the square element.
Then another 3 dc and 3 ch for the third top of the square.
In this first row of dc you need to knit a total of 12 dc. So, let's knit the last 3 dc and 3 ch.
A half-column closes the beginning and end of the row.
To switch to knitting the second row in a square motif, you need to make 4 ch.
Under the chain of 3 ch of the previous row we knit 3 dc.
We knit 1 ch and in the next chain of 3 ch of the previous row we knit 3 s1n.
3 ch and another 3 dc are collected under the second chain of ch.
Using the same principle that two vertices were knitted, the third vertex of the square element is also knitted.
The fourth top should be connected like this: 3 s1n, 3 ch, 2 s1n. In this case, the third column with 1n will be the air loops at the beginning of the row.
Pull the thread under the ch chain.
Pull one loop through the other to secure the thread.
The inner part of the square element for the children's blanket from the motif is ready. The gray thread is cut. The yellow thread is crocheted, and a chain of 3 ch is knitted under any one of the ch of the previous row.
Under the same 1 ch, 2 sc are knitted.
We knit 1 ch, and at the top we knit 3 s1n and 3 ch.
Under the same 3 ch of the previous row, another 3 dc are knitted. This will be the newly formed top of the square.
We knit 1 ch and 3 s1n under 1 ch of the previous row.
Next, the second peak, the third and the fourth are formed.
To move to the second row of yellow yarn, cast on 4 ch.
3 s1n are knitted into 1 ch of the previous row.
Finish the row with yellow yarn, forming all 4 vertices and connecting the row with a connecting half stitch.
The yellow thread is cut and secured. A green thread is pulled up and 2 rows are knitted.
By analogy with how the first motif was knitted, you need to knit 3 more of these. Total 4 square motifs.
Sew 2 finished motifs along the edge, folding them with their right sides facing inward. So you need to sew all 4 motifs.
When the motifs are sewn, we proceed to the binding. We connect the yellow thread under any of the chs of the previous row and knit according to the same principle as we crocheted small square motifs for a children's blanket.
Where the seam passes between the two motifs, 3 dc are knitted.
You can make the top of a children's blanket using crochet motifs following pattern 1 (the same as the top of the motifs).
We tie the stitched motifs with one row of yellow yarn.
We hook up the light pink yarn and knit the next row. You need 5 of these nearby.
A blue thread is knitted and 1 row is created.
Again 2 rows with light pink yarn.
And 2 more rows of light green yarn.
Repeat knitting with 2 more rows of pink and yellow yarn.
A row of sc is knitted around the perimeter of the blanket. At the tops, 8 sc are knitted under a chain of 3 ch.
To make wavy edges for a blanket, knit 2 rows of ch chains around the perimeter like this: place the hook under the sc of the previous row, pull a loop, knit 5 ch from it. Skip 1 sbn of the previous row and in the next sbn insert a hook on which a chain of ch.
Pull the yarn through the sc of the previous row and the last loop on the hook. Repeat this around the entire perimeter of the blanket. Knit the second row of ch chains, placing the hook under the 5 ch chains of the previous row.

Studying the beautiful “Houndstooth” pattern
This crochet pattern looks very good on high-volume threads, such as acrylic, that is, fluffy ones. The pattern is reversible and is perfect for children's blankets.
For the blanket you will need: wool or wool blend yarn of three colors ( bright shades), hook number 4. Another option is acrylic yarn 230m per 100g, hook 4.5.
The pattern consists of four rows. In the first three rows the warp is knitted.
We start knitting the base like this: we knit a chain of ordinary air loops, determining the number of them desired for the length of the future product, a multiple of 4 + 2 lifting loops.
The pattern of the first row will be single crochets. The beginning of the second row will be three lifting loops. Then you need to knit three double crochet stitches. We repeat the entire row with a pattern of 1 chain stitch and 3 double crochets. We end the row with a group of 4 columns. We knit the third row according to the pattern of the second, paying attention that the groups of three columns do not move relative to each other. After the third row is knitted to the end, it is time to move on to a thread of a different color. Carefully secure the end of the thread in the knitting, passing it several times through the loops of the previous row.
