Knitting Fever Everly Throw Pattern

Knitting Fever Everly Throw

What Is Being Made

The Everly Throw is a cozy knitted blanket designed by Karen Klein for Knitting Fever. This finished throw measures approximately 44 inches wide by 52 inches long (112cm x 132cm), making it an ideal size for draping over furniture or using as a lap blanket. The throw is worked in a simple, accessible construction that makes it suitable for knitters of various skill levels.

Techniques Used

This pattern employs a bottom-up, seamless, flat knitting construction method. The throw is worked flat on straight needles rather than in the round, eliminating the need for seaming or assembly. The straightforward row-by-row approach creates a finished piece with minimal finishing work required.

Stitches Used

The Everly Throw features a simple stitch pattern combining two fundamental knitting techniques:

• Knit stitch (K): Used on right-side rows to create texture and visual interest
• Purl stitch: Used on wrong-side rows in the center section to add dimensional contrast

The pattern incorporates a garter stitch border (knit stitches on both sides) measuring 4 stitches on each edge, which frames the throw and provides a finished appearance. The center section alternates between knit and purl rows, creating a subtle textured pattern throughout the throw's body.

Materials and Tools

The Everly Throw requires 7 skeins of KFI Collection Furreal yarn in shade 15 Grey Wolf, with each skein weighing 100 grams. This yarn choice provides a soft, luxurious texture suitable for a throw blanket. Knitters will need US 15/10mm knitting needles to work this pattern. The pattern notes that gauge is irrelevant for this design, allowing for flexibility in final dimensions based on individual knitting tension.

Pattern Construction Details

The throw begins with casting on 100 stitches loosely to ensure a stretchy foundation edge. The pattern then alternates between two rows: a right-side row of knit stitches and a wrong-side row that combines knit stitches at the edges with purl stitches in the center. This row pattern is repeated continuously until the throw reaches approximately 52 inches in length. Once the desired length is achieved, stitches are bound off loosely to maintain an elastic edge that matches the cast-on. Finishing involves weaving in all yarn ends for a polished, complete appearance.
