Nerd home sweet nerd home

Project info
Helicopters by Frankie Brown
Knitting
BlanketThrow
1.5m x 1.25m
Needles & yarn
US 7 - 4.5 mm
Notes

1.8m x 1.05m (width x height, lightest on top)

Module size

20.5cm wide (to repeat)
13cm high (without ‘spike’)

Timing - 04-10-2019

Each “wing” takes me about 20 minutes to knit. And 7.3m=8yrd of yarn.

Sewing to the blanket about 10 minutes.

So, about 70 minutes per full module

Important note - 26-07-2022

Casting on loosely makes it much easier to pick up stitches!

Picking up again - 03-04-2022

I have about 28 modules done, and I want about 92 more.

This is my main “long term” project now.

Added a borders sketch.

It will be 8 blocks tall and about 15 columns wide.

Full sides

~30 minutes

Continue in pattern until there are 5 stitches on the needle (after row 18)

Row 19: ssk, k, k2tog (3)
Row 20: s2kp2, cut, pass thread through last stitch, and hide end

(Note the side decrease is on a wrong side row and the centered double decrease on a right side one)
