Introducing the Komfort Kover!

Finally, I finished this blanket that I started a few weeks back.  Not a minute too soon......the weather is getting very hot and I was ready to get this off my lap!  It's the third blanket this year for Kozy Kovers for Kids - my goal is to make at least 4 this year, so I think I'm doing well.

I used Joann's Sensations Rainbow Classic yarn for this.  I had 2 skeins in the house and I love working with bulky yarn and large needles, so I doubled the strands, took out my size 15's and got to work.  I like the simplicity of the pattern - I can work on this while watching basketball and not lose my place and I also like the look of the dropped stitches.  I hope you like it too.

Tried to get a close up of the stitches.......

The pattern is free, but I ask that you drop by our Facebook pages for Delaware Head Huggers and for Kozy Kovers for Kids.  Come join us as we make a difference.  Stop by our websites also to see what we're up to, find out how to donate or just learn more about what we do.  

The pattern may also be found on Scribd.com as a PDF and, as always, you can email me at robin@delawareheadhuggers.org and I will email you a copy.   If you are printing this, use print preview to determine the pages you wish to print or copy and paste it into a Word document to ensure that you print only what you want. 

 

Komfort Kover

You will need:

2 strands of 5-weight yarn – I used Joann’s Sensations Rainbow Classics

            I used 2 full skeins of Neutral Rainbow Classis – 615 yards per skein

Size US 15 circular needle to accommodate the large number of stitches

Cast on 85 stitches

Work pattern:

           

            Rows 1 – 4:  Knit all stitches

Row 5:  K5,  *insert needle as if to knit, wrap yarn around needle two times and then knit the stitch.  This will give you 2 loops for every stitch.*  Repeat from * to * across the entire row to last 5 stitches, K5.

Row 6:  Knit all stitches, working the first loop and dropping the extra loop for each stitch.

Repeat until the blanket is the length you wish.  My blanket is about 36 x 45 and it took 16 repeats of the pattern.

            Repeat Rows 1-4

            Bind off all stitches and weave in ends.
