Bias Blanket
use any yarn, any needles, any gauge - you decide!
knit corner to corner with a basic stitch pattern to create for a simple + modern look. you can customize this to be larger/smaller by simply changing the yarn + needles. have fun!
** the piece pictured was knit using 3 balls of Cotton Ease using size US 7 needles. see my projects if you’d like the details.
- EDITED TO ADD - a few items of note, in response to questions that frequently appear in my inbox:
-
the finished piece is a rhombus/kite shape, not a true square. this is because the piece is knit corner to corner, and my stitches are taller than they are wide. babies aren’t square, so i think this shape works out great!
-
there was no rhyme or reason to my color changes - i knit with one ball of yarn, then when it ran out, i switched to the next, etc. simple as that :)
-
when i was about halfway through the 2nd ball of yarn is when i started to decrease. this is because i had three balls of yarn, and wanted to be sure that i would have enough left to finish. you can make yours any size, just start to decrease when you are halfway through however much yarn you are using.
-
that cotton ease worked out GREAT!
-
i am sorry, but i do not have a piece of the finished blanket to share because it was gifted years ago. there are lots of images of finished bias blankets on ravelry - check them out for ideas and inspiration!
THANKS + HAPPY KNITTING!
xoxo
