I have knit several Sunshine blankets for clients. It is a favorite for all ages even TEENS!! Since it is cold and wintery here, I think any sunshine would be nice!! This is my own hand drawn pattern I am sharing for free.
This blanket can be knit on any machine with 200 needles. I knit mine in double bed jacquard on a Passap E6000 T186. This is a large tuck throw with T186. If you want a smaller lap or cot size, knit the same file with T187. It will be smaller and the text will be more defined. This blanket can be knit on any electronic knitting machine with 200 needles. Japanese machines will knit a smaller blanket size. Cast on (#3 for Passap), T186, 88-0-88 total of 176 stitches double bed. Both end needles are on the back bed. 250 pattern rows and 1000 actual lock passes. This was knit with 2 strands 2/24 of each color tension 4.3 on both locks (Passap). Finished size 62″ wide by 74″ long knit on Passap with T186.

The “not so fine” print: Do not claim this pattern/digital file as “your” design. Do not share my pattern file or post the digital file online unless it is by sharing the URL link to my website/blog post. You can knit this blanket to sell. Items are knit to sell by small business less than 500 items a year…. I always appreciate sharing of my website name, Herman Hills Farm, when sharing your finished knitted items. …Just hoping others will find some use of my blog/tutorials too. Machine knitting is a dying art. 🙁 Thank you.
