Tahki Yarns Silverdale Blanket
What Is Being Made
The Silverdale Blanket is a knitted throw blanket available in two sizes: a small stroller blanket measuring 32 x 27½" (80 x 69cm) and a larger crib blanket measuring 41 x 35" (102.5 x 87.5cm). Designed by Norma Jean Sternschein, this project is ideal for beginners seeking to create a practical, finished textile suitable for gifting or personal use.
Techniques Used
This blanket is worked flat using the knitting method, meaning you work back and forth in rows rather than in the round. The construction begins and ends with garter stitch borders that frame the central pattern, creating a finished edge. A key finishing technique involves slipping the last stitch of each row as to purl with yarn in front, which creates a smooth, professional-looking selvage edge. The pattern also incorporates blocking as a finishing step to ensure the blanket reaches its intended measurements and achieves proper drape.
Stitches Used
The Silverdale Blanket employs two primary stitch patterns:
- Garter Stitch: Created by knitting every row, garter stitch forms the 1-inch (2.5cm) borders at both the cast-on and bind-off edges. This textured stitch provides structure and prevents curling.
- Lizard Lattice Pattern: The main decorative stitch occupies the center of the blanket. This 18-row repeat pattern uses a multiple of 6 stitches plus 3, combining knit and purl stitches to create a lattice-like texture. The pattern alternates between stockinette sections (knit on right-side rows, purl on wrong-side rows) and ribbed sections (alternating knit 3, purl 3), producing visual interest and dimensional texture across the blanket surface.
Materials and Tools
The Silverdale Blanket is crafted using Tahki Yarns Cotton Classic Twist, a 100% mercerized cotton yarn available in color #5200 lavender field. The small stroller blanket requires 8 hanks, while the larger crib blanket requires 12 hanks. Each hank contains 1.75 ounces (50 grams) and 108 yards (100 meters) of yarn. Knitters will need one US size 6 (4.0mm) circular needle measuring 32 inches (80cm) in length, stitch markers to denote pattern sections, and a yarn needle for weaving in ends during finishing. The recommended gauge is 21 stitches and 33 rows per 4 inches (10cm) when worked in the Lizard Lattice Pattern and blocked.
