These Days Blanket knitting pattern is easy to knit with worsted weight yarn. The design features a six-row repeat stitch pattern that creates a modern ‘triangle-in-a-square’ texture that is reversible! The blanket looks exactly the same on both sides.
The stitch design for my These Days Blanket pattern reminds me of the boxes on my paper calendar where I write notes about each day. Some days bring life’s biggest challenges. Other days bring happy, memorable occasions. And, some of the best days are the delightfully ordinary days. Keeping notes on my calendar about each day helps me remember to enjoy these days.

I used Juniper Moon Farms ‘Moonshine’ worsted yarn in the ‘Moonbeam’ colorway. Shop for this yarn: The Woolery
This pattern will work well with many worsted #4 weight yarns. Solid color yarn recommended for best appearance of stitch pattern.
See more yarn options in my blog post about more than 25 worsted weight yarns for blanket knitting.
The pattern may also be used with slightly lighter or heavier weight yarns. Select the needle size that gives the best appearance for your yarn.
If you prefer bulky weight yarn…please see my Little Moments blanket pattern.
GAUGE:
Pattern stitch with US size 7 needles: approximately 19 stitches & 30 rows = 4”
Exact gauge is not essential. This stitch pattern looks best with fairly tight stitches.
I used US size 7 knitting needles…but choose the needle size that gives the best appearance with your yarn and your knitting tension.
Significantly different gauge may require more yarn.
NEEDLES:
Blanket knit flat, in one piece, back and forth on circular knitting needles in order to accommodate the large number of stitches.
SKILL LEVEL: Easy
You will need to know how to cast on stitches, knit and purl confidently, read a row by row knitting pattern, bind off stitches and weave in ends.
Blocking of finished knitting is highly recommended. Please see my blog post for step-by-step tips and photos.
