PATTERN WAS A 2023 EXCLUSIVE at Jimmy Bean’s Wool
for their 2022 BLANKET CLUB.

URTH STRATA BLANKET:
This blanket is knit in triangle quarters. The pattern’s stitches are basic knits and purls. There are a couple of adventurous techniques which make this pattern special. The pattern has both simplified charts and is completely written. The charts are nice to look at to see the stitch patterns, even if you are not going to follow them as you knit.

YARN:
The Textured Blanket is designed to be knit in worsted weight yarn, specifically Urth Yarns Monokrom. Other yarns or weights are possible but will impact your outcome. Adjustments to needle size and other factors that impact gauge should be considered.

NEEDLES & GAUGE:
Since these blanket sections start small and grow to be quite large, I would suggest using round needles with a long cable (such as 40”). If you have the benefit of interchangeable needles, starting with a shorter cable is always easier and changing up as your piece grows.
THE BLANKET uses US 07’s/4.5mm, gauge in STOCKING KNIT, before BLOCKING.
I tend to knit on gauge or a little under (tighter) if you are a loose knitter MAKE SURE to gauge swatch or drop down your needle size!!!! Please do not cut the yarn from your swatch. Please assume you will need to knit that yarn into your blanket.

BLOCKED BLANKET SIZE:
60” x 60” Square, excluding optional tassels.

NOTIONS:
4 Stitch Markers to mark center stitch and edges.
Removable marker to indicate right side.
Needle or hook to tuck your ends & to sew the middle seams. Tassel maker or cardboard for making tassels.
