passap blanket — Front of blanket shown above.

The Pineapple is a simple, clean design. You could easily add text to the bottom border. I wanted this to be completely reversible so I did not add text. Knit on E6000 technique 186 2 color double bed jacquard. Cast on #3 88-0-88 total of 176 stitches. Both end needles are on the back bed. 248 pattern rows and 992 actual lock passes. This was knit with 2 strands 2/24 of each color tension 4.2 on both locks. Finished size 62″ wide by 74″ long. I used the cast off described in this post. I am sharing the files for Designaknit .stp and .bmp for Wincrea for your personal use. If you knit this to sell, please credit Herman Hills Farm for the design. 🙂

Simple Tuck Blanket

posted in: Designaknit, Machine Knit, Uncategorized | 0

I knit this a couple of weeks ago and forgot to write a post for it. This is a single bed tuck blanket knit on the Silver Reed SK860. A simple Chevron design from Charlene Shafer’s book: Tuck Lap Robes and Baby Blankets The book came with a cd/disk with the .stp files for Designaknit. It is a good book for quick and easy projects.

I used Tamm Spirit coned yarn which is available from Knit Knack Shop. This yarn is machine washable and great for baby items. The finished blanket size was 36” x 42.”
