This is blanket #4 this year for Kozy Kovers for Kids! That was my goal, so I am very excited to meet that in July! I'm hoping to get another one or two finished this year in between hats also. We're in the midst of an awful heat wave, so I made this a small blanket - about 32 x 32, but feel free to make it any size you like!
This blanket pattern is infinitely adjustable! It's a multiple of 4 + 2 and you can just knit as few or as many rows as you would like to get your desired length! Super simple and great for working on while watching TV or chatting with a friend. I knit it using 2 different colors of Lion Brand's Pound of Love and used less than half a pound of each.
The pattern is free, but please, consider taking some time and knitting a blanket for a child in need. If you are too far to get it to us, just donate it to your local foster care agency or to your local emergency room or police station. And stop by our Facebook page and join us! See what we're doing to help children in Delaware and beyond!
The pattern is on Scribd as a PDF . You can reach me at info@kozykoversforkids.org or robin@delawareheadhuggers.org

This Kounterfeit Kabled Kover will be my next afghan for the Knitting Paradise project....knitting for the June flood victims/ survivors.
ReplyDeleteI expect it will knit up fast with 2 yarns at the same time. We have 8 or more Calgary members in KP knitting for this project, and have also received donations for other KP members. We have been collecting hats, mitts, scarves, and blankets to be distributed in the later fall. Thank you for this pattern. Nancie
Thanks. I cannot only keep improving my knitting but also help people. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI will be using this pattern for a Project Linus blanket. My Mom and I belong to the chapter that covers Los Angeles, the San Gabriel Valley and San Fernando Valley and neighboring areas. So good to see others doing for various charities and helping those in need.
ReplyDeleteCan i use a straight knitting needle?
ReplyDeleteThe number is stitches requires circular needles.
