7. EASY STOCKINETTE STITCH KNIT THROW

This Easy Stockinette Stitch Knit Throw is colorful and simple to make and was my companion during our 18-hour road trip to Mount Rushmore and back. It was such a joy to knit- the pattern is the simplest ever and you don’t need to pay too much attention to the knitting. My favorite kind of pattern. The yarn I used here is super soft and makes you want to rub the blanket on your face.

8. HEART KNIT BLANKET

Knitting a heart shape is a great challenge for any knitter- and though it takes some calculations you will love the end result! For this blanket, I used a contrast of knit and stockinette stitches to add texture along the heart shape. The pinks just make me happy 🙂

9. HALF LINEN TEXTURED BLANKET

This Half Linen Stitch blanket has the most amazing texture and creates a fabric that is beautiful on the both the right and wrong sides! This is slow comfort knit as the half lined stitch requires you to move the yarn from the back to the front of the work at every stitch. But that creates the easy, dense, no hole texture.
