Knitalong Parts ( 6 )

  • Textured gift blanket part one

    We love learning new skills here at LKT – and designer Zoë Halstead has given us all the perfect opportunity to get a little stitch practice in with this bold and beautiful textured blanket knitalong. Each week we’ll be working on a colourful new strip, all of which will showcase a different stitch pattern. From cables to basketweave, purls, diamonds and more, it’s the ideal opportunity to…

  • Textured gift blanket part 2

    How did you get on with part one of our colourful textured blanket knitalong? By now you’ve hopefully got the first strip cast off and you’re ready for the next instalment – so here it is! This week, we’re creating a pretty diamond design using cleverly placed purl stitches. This pattern is fairly straightforward but looks stunning when finished – we just can’t wait to cast on.

  • Textured gift blanket part three

    We can’t believe we’re halfway through our blanket knitalong already! In this third instalment we’ll be tackling cables – they might look scary at first, but once you get the hang of the pattern, you’ll find yourself zooming through them in no time. Let’s get started!

  • Textured gift blanket part four

    How is your blanket looking so far? By now you’ll hopefully have three finished strips and be ready for the next. This week, we’re taking on lacework – don’t worry, you don’t need to try and work with intricate laceweight yarn; it can be made using DK, too! By combining simple increases and decreases you’ll create a repeated pattern that comes together to create beautiful lace.

  • Textured gift blanket part five

    We can’t believe we’re almost at the end of our fabulous blanket knitalong already. It’s not over yet, though – we’ve still got two panels to create. This week, we’re using a knit and purl checkerboard design that features a tactile 3D bobble effect. Let’s get knitting!

  • Textured gift blanket part six

    The time has come – we’re about to complete the textured blanket knitalong! We hope you’ve had fun working on all the different textured strips, and have added some new stitches to your knitting repertoire – who knows, perhaps you’ve found a new favourite? Let us know how you got on and share finished pictures of your blanket on our exclusive members-only Facebook group – we can’t…
