This Bamboo Forest Blanket Knitting Pattern is an easy knit and purl design great for beginners and knitters of all skill levels. This unique and natural look with raised lines and ridges gives the impression that you’ve woven actual bamboo into your knitting. Select among seven blanket sizes and have fun knitting up your new heirloom today.

The serenity of Bamboo Giant in Aptos, California has inspired my easy blanket design. It is located about an hour drive south from my Studio Knit location down the coast in Santa Cruz county. Stepping into this enchanting wonderland, you’re welcomed by towering bamboo shoots swaying gently in the breeze.

Skill Level: Experienced Beginner.
