Knitting Patterns for Blankets, Throws, and Afghans

A hand-knit blanket is more than just a project; it is a labor of love that often becomes a family treasure. When browsing our afghan knitting patterns, consider the final use of the piece to help guide your choice. For a sophisticated living room accent, a worsted weight throw with architectural cables or a mosaic colorwork pattern offers both warmth and visual interest. If you are looking for a quick, satisfying project, our bulky and jumbo weight blanket patterns allow you to create a thick, plush layer in a fraction of the time, perfect for last-minute housewarming gifts.

• Modular Designs: Perfect for "on-the-go" knitting, these patterns involve knitting smaller squares or strips that are later joined together.
• Textured Gansey and Cables: These designs provide a weighted, comforting feel and look beautiful in solid, tonal colors that highlight the stitch definition.
