This blanket was inspired by the yarn that I used to make it. As an ambassador for King Cole Yarns, they sent me a sample cake of the Safari Chunky yarn. When I was looking and playing with it, it screamed out to me “I want to be a big, squishy, rippley blanket!”
This easy blanket uses Safari Chunky yarn, size 10.5 knitting needles and works over a 2 row repeat. The points at the ends of the blanket are featured with small fringes of only 3 strands of yarn used for each fringe. It does work up fairly quickly because of the chunky yarn and the 2 row repeat is good for when you want to knit while binging your favorite television show (or podcast, in my case!)
The blanket is sized for 50” x 60” / 127 cm x 152.4 cm, however it can be customized quite easily to be larger or smaller, as the panels are 16 stitches and it’s worked over a 2 row repeat. I’ve created a short video to walk you through the pattern, where to place the stitch markers, binding off in pattern and attaching the fringe.
I used just under 5 cakes of King Cole Safari Chunky yarn in the color “Sunset” to make this blanket.
