Plymouth Yarn Vertical Lines Throw
What Is Being Made
The Plymouth Yarn Vertical Lines Throw is a beginner-friendly knitted blanket measuring approximately 36 inches wide by 44 inches long. This downloadable knitting pattern is offered free with the purchase of Plymouth Yarn materials, making it an accessible project for knitters new to blanket construction. The finished throw provides a cozy, decorative piece suitable for draping over furniture or using as a lap blanket.
Craft and Techniques
This project uses knitting as the primary craft technique. The throw is constructed using circular needles, which allow for easy handling of the wider fabric without requiring multiple needles. The pattern employs fundamental knitting techniques including casting on, binding off, and weaving in ends. The design features a combination of garter stitch borders and a repeating vertical line pattern throughout the body, creating visual interest while remaining accessible to beginner-level knitters.
Stitches Used
The Plymouth Yarn Vertical Lines Throw utilizes straightforward stitches appropriate for beginners:
- Knit stitch (K) – the foundational stitch used throughout the pattern
- Purl stitch (P) – used to create the distinctive vertical line details
- Garter stitch – created by knitting every row, used for the top and bottom borders (8 rows each) to frame the pattern and provide a finished edge
The vertical line pattern itself repeats over 8 rows and works on multiples of 6 stitches plus 11, creating a rhythmic design that alternates between knit and purl stitches to produce raised vertical lines across the fabric.
Materials and Needles
The throw requires 8 balls of Encore Mega Colorspun yarn (100g each) in color 7161, providing approximately 800 grams of yarn for the complete project. The pattern calls for 24-inch circular needles in size 15 (10mm), or the size needed to achieve the specified gauge of approximately 8 stitches and 11 rows over 4 inches in the pattern stitch. The use of circular needles accommodates the 71 cast-on stitches and allows comfortable working of the blanket's width throughout the project.
