Happy Holiday Blanket
What is Being Made: The Happy Holiday Blanket is an intermediate-level knitted throw measuring 55 cm (21 ½ inches) wide by 80 cm (31 ½ inches) long. This cozy blanket is worked flat using straightforward knitting techniques, making it an accessible project for knitters with some experience.
Techniques Used: This blanket is constructed using fundamental knitting methods worked flat on straight needles. The pattern incorporates seaming techniques to join pieces together, creating a finished garment with professional construction. The straightforward approach makes this an ideal intermediate project for knitters looking to build their foundational skills.
Stitches Used: The Happy Holiday Blanket features two primary stitch patterns:
- Stocking Stitch: The main stitch pattern, created by knitting right-side rows and purling wrong-side rows, providing a smooth, classic fabric
- Moss Stitch: A textured stitch pattern used as an accent or border element, adding visual interest and dimension to the blanket
Materials Required: This project uses Paintbox Yarns Simply DK yarn in a three-color colorway: 2 × 100g balls of Seafoam Blue (A), 1 × 100g ball of Stormy Grey (B), and 1 × 100g ball of Paper White (C). Knitters will need a pair of 4mm (UK 8 – US 6) knitting needles to achieve the correct tension.
Tension and Gauge: Proper tension is essential for this project. The pattern requires 22 stitches and 30 rows to 10 cm (4 inches) over stocking stitch, and 20 stitches and 26 rows to 10 cm (4 inches) over moss stitch, both measured using 4mm needles. Knitters should complete a tension swatch of at least 13 cm (5 inches) square before beginning to ensure the finished blanket achieves the correct dimensions.
Pattern Notes: Instructions are provided using UK knitting terminology with US equivalents noted in parentheses. The pattern uses standard abbreviations including K (knit), P (purl), st st (stocking stitch), and others. Yarn quantities are approximate based on average requirements, and Paintbox Yarns recommends using only the specified yarn to ensure successful results.
