INSTANT DOWNLOAD PDF KNITTING PATTERN
The Days to Come blanket knitting pattern is easy to knit with worsted or Aran weight yarn. The design features a 12-row repeat stitch pattern that creates a modern, geometric design. It’s reversible!
The repeating geometric squares in this stitch pattern remind me of the blank pages of my 2022 month-by-month paper calendar. As I opened the page to the new year, I wrote down the events that we are looking forward to this year. When life seems a little challenging… or I find myself missing “the before times”… it helps to look ahead to the days to come. Whether you are looking ahead to next week or later this year, may you find that the days to come bring moments of joy, happiness and celebration.

DIRECTIONS FOR SIX BLANKET SIZES:
Approximate sizes after blocking…
Baby Blanket: 26” wide x 30” long
Small Blanket: 28” wide x 34” long
Medium Blanket: 31” wide x 38” long
Large Throw: 36.5” wide x 44” long

Finished size may vary depending on yarn weight and gauge used.
Any of the sizes may be made longer by adding pattern repeats. Each pattern repeat adds about 2” to the length of the blanket. Pattern includes estimates for additional yardage needed to make each size longer.

Be sure to buy additional yarn if you plan to add length to your project.
I used Blue Sky Fibers ‘Sweater’ heavy worsted yarn in the ‘Powder Puff’ colorway. This pattern will work well with many worsted, heavy worsted or Aran weight yarns.
Stitch pattern looks attractive with solid color yarns, as well as gently variegated, hand dyed colorways.
See lots of yarn options in my blog post about worsted weight yarns for blanket knitting.
GAUGE:
Pattern stitch with US size 8 needles: approximately 18 stitches & 24 rows = 4”
Exact gauge is not essential. This stitch pattern looks best with fairly tight stitches.
I used US size 8 knitting needles. Choose the needle size that gives the best appearance with your yarn and your knitting tension.
NEEDLES:
Blanket knit flat, in one piece, back and forth on circular knitting needles in order to accommodate the large number of stitches.
