P129 Rudolph the Reindeer Christmas Blanket

Knit our Rudolph the Reindeer Christmas Blanket.

Design

The Blanket has cute Rudolph motifs and basketweave stitch squares which are knitted in 5 strips. The strips are sewn together to form the blanket and the moss stitch edging is added by picking up stitches on each side. You will need a 3.25mm circular needle for the edging (but you knit back and forth in rows) or longer length 3.25mm straight needles. To complete the blanket is a plain stocking stitch back which adds extra warmth and provides a lovely finish. The front and back are sewn together.

Sizes

The finished size is 79 (H) x 89 (W) in cms or 31 (H) x 35 (W) in inches.

Yarn

The pattern uses DK wool (an alternative yarn for overseas knitters would be USA light worsted or Australian 8 ply).

Needles

Sizes 3.25 mm and 4 mm (USA 3 and 6) straight needles are required.

1 x 3.25 mm circular needle (for edging)
