Meadow Lane
Meadow Lane blanket is the lighter weight version of The Boulevard Blanket…my popular free pattern for super bulky yarn.
APRIL 2023 UPDATE: This pattern was updated to reflect the gauge, yardage and measurements from a new project sample.
DIRECTIONS FOR SIX BLANKET SIZES:
Approximate sizes after blocking…
Baby: 28” wide x 30” long
Small: 30” wide x 36” long
Medium: 34” wide x 37” long
Large: 38” wide x 44” long
XL: 42” wide x 46” long
XXL: 47” wide x 50” long
Any of the blanket sizes may be made longer by knitting additional rows. Pattern includes estimates for additional yardage needed to make blankets longer.
Finished size may vary depending on yarn weight and gauge used.
WORSTED/ARAN #4 WEIGHT YARN:
Baby: 670 - 700 yards
Small: 850 - 880 yards
Medium: 1000 - 1050 yards
Large: 1300 - 1400 yards
XL: 1500 - 1600 yards
XXL: 1850 - 1950 yards
Be sure to buy additional yarn if you plan to add length to your blanket.
This pattern may be used with DK, worsted or Aran weight yarns. Select the needle size that gives the best appearance for your yarn. Finished size and amount of yarn needed may vary depending on yarn choice and gauge… so buy extra yarn just in case!
GAUGE:
Pattern stitch with US size 8: approximately 15 - 16 stitches = 4”
Exact gauge is not essential.
I used US size 8 knitting needles for the green blanket I made with Lion Brand Heartland yarn. Choose the needle size that gives the best appearance with your yarn and your knitting tension. For best appearance, knitting should be fairly tight.
CIRCULAR KNITTING NEEDLES:
Knit flat, in one piece, back and forth on circular knitting needles.
In order to accommodate the large number of stitches, long circular needles are recommended.
SKILL LEVEL: Easy
You will need to know how to cast on stitches, knit and purl confidently, read a row by row knitting pattern, bind off stitches and weave in ends.
This pattern uses standard U.S. knitting terms.
Written pattern with row by row instructions.
