Basic Garter Stitch Blanket
This pattern is part of my Learn To Knit series of patterns dedicated to new knitters (or you might be an expert knitter, but is feeling like doing something mindless in front of the telly or around the braai!) This pattern is intended to teach new knitters to build on their basic skills like casting on, knitting in garter stitch, and casting off, as well as weaving in ends. The electronic pattern includes links to handy resources, from casting on, knitting the stitch pattern, to casting off. Don’t be discouraged if you struggle in the beginning. It is always difficult to learn a new skill or technique. This blanket will be a perfect way to learn how to knit evenly and find your own special tension/gauge (are you a tight knitter, or do you knit a bit looser.)
The Basic Garter Stitch Blanket uses a total of 800g of yarn to complete a blanket that measures approx 83x130cm. To make a bigger blanket, double up on the stitch count, and work double the colour sections to increase the length of the blanket but note that this will affect yarn quantities.
