THE BEGINNER BLANKET is a blanket in a very simple pattern, using garter stitch, as well as a simple stitch pattern of yarn overs and knitting 3 stitches together. The pattern looks advanced, but is actually very easy to knit. The pattern includes both a charted and a written pattern.
The blanket can be knit using multiple colours with a contrasting stripe or in a single colour with a contrasting stripe.
The blanket is knitted in
ØKOLOGISK HVERDAGSULD, which has a lightness that makes it suitable for blankets and interior. The yarn will get softer after washing.
