If you prefer a lighter weight yarn (worsted weight or similar) see my free Meadow Lane blanket knitting pattern.

KNITTING NEEDLES:
The blanket is knit in one piece, back and forth on 32” long circular knitting needles US size 13 or 15.

GAUGE:
Exact gauge is not essential. However, knitting should be fairly tight for desired appearance.

YARN SUGGESTIONS:

This pattern will work well with many super bulky yarns in both solid and variegated colorways. However, I do not recommend chenille style yarns because the soft yarn does not have the stitch definition to show off the pattern.

Lion Brand Hometown (100% Acrylic) - For the blue blanket shown in the photos I used Lion Brand Hometown in 'Washington Denim'. This yarn is very soft… but also has great stitch definition so the pattern really ‘pops’. It’s easy to knit with and very economical. Shop: LionBrand.com (US) and LoveCrafts.com (ships to US, Canada, UK, EU and many countries around the world)

Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick (80% Acrylic / 20% Wool) - I have used this yarn for many blanket projects including my Winter Dance blanket and Game Time blanket. Great stitch definition. Shop: LionBrand.com and LoveCrafts.com.

Lion Brand Re-Spun Thick & Quick (100% recycled polyester) - This yarn is spun from recycled plastics. It’s surprisingly soft with fantastic stitch definition. Generously sized skeins each contain 223 yards (340 grams). Attractive collection of muted colorways. I particularly like ‘Night Sky’, ‘Whipped Cream’, ‘Pumice Stone’, ‘Silver’ and ‘Olive Branch’. Shop: LionBrand.com
