INSTANT DOWNLOAD PDF KNITTING PATTERN
The State Line Blanket is knit with super bulky weight yarn so it is quick to knit on big needles.
The State Line Blanket knitting pattern design was inspired by one of the most well known streets in my hometown…Kansas City. Half of our city is in Kansas and the other half in Missouri. As the name implies…State Line Road is the dividing line between the states.
“Love the blanket knitting patterns by Fifty Four Ten Studio. Well written patterns + bulky yarn on US size 13 needles = fast FO (finished object).”

DIRECTIONS FOR SIX BLANKET SIZES:
Baby Blanket: 30” wide x 31” long

Large Throw: 41” wide x 51” long

It’s easy to make any of the blanket sizes longer by adding additional pattern repeats. Each repeat adds about 5” to the length of the blanket.
