Celtic Interlaced Knot Blanket

Celtic Interlaced Knot Blanket

What is Being Made

The Celtic Interlaced Knot Blanket is a cozy throw blanket featuring decorative Celtic interlaced knot patterning. This finished blanket measures approximately 42 inches by 52 inches (107 cm by 132 cm), making it an ideal size for a lap throw or accent blanket for sofas and chairs. Designed by Reena Belford of I LOVE MY BLANKET, this pattern combines traditional Celtic design motifs with modern knitting techniques to create a visually striking textile piece.

Craft and Techniques

This is a knitting project classified at an intermediate skill level, making it suitable for knitters who have mastered basic techniques and are ready to work with more complex stitch patterns. The Celtic interlaced knot design requires attention to detail and an understanding of how to execute decorative patterning within a knitted fabric. The blanket construction utilizes loop yarn, which creates a distinctive textured appearance and eliminates the need for traditional finishing techniques.

Materials and Yarn

This blanket is crafted using super chunky weight yarn, specifically Alize Puffy yarn. The pattern requires 9 balls of Alize Puffy yarn, with each ball containing 3.53 ounces (100 grams). The yarn shown in the pattern photographs is in colorway '485'. While Alize Puffy yarn is the recommended fiber, the pattern is designed to work with any brand of loop yarn, including Bernat Alize Blanket-EZ as a substitute option. Keep in mind that different brands of loop yarn may vary in loop size and ball weight, which could affect the final dimensions of your finished blanket.

Stitches and Construction

The blanket features Celtic interlaced knot patterning worked into the knitted fabric. Loop yarn creates an inherently textured surface that showcases stitch definition, allowing the interlaced knot motif to stand out visually. The use of super chunky yarn means fewer stitches and rows are required to achieve the finished dimensions, resulting in relatively quick project completion compared to blankets made with lighter weight yarns.
