I knit a few of these horse blankets for friends. It was knit on the Passap E6000 with technique 186 which is a tuck double bed 2 color technique. There is no text so the blanket is reversible. The finished size after washing was 64″ x 73.”
The grey and navy blanket was the first one I knit (see photos below). I noticed the muzzle seemed a bit long, so I reshaped and deleted stitches until I got it the way I liked it. I ended up removing rows and modifying a large part of the stitches on the inner design also for more definition. The mustard and white blanket (shown above) is the final design after modifications.

I absolutely love the horse blankets, I really like all your work, newbie E600 question, it’s 186 on the monitor, but what are the settings on the carriages? And is it regular needle rule?
Thank You!

Hi Angela. Thank you for the compliment on my knitting. 🙂 The settings for T186 are the same as listed in your E6000 manual. Back lock on N, front on KX. I put both end needles on the back bed.

Lots of inspiration! How do you bind off to get a clean edge?

🙂 The cast off I use is to transfer all stitches to the front bed, knit a row (with back stitches still in work) and cast off along the front bed. I have details for the cast off written here: https://hermanhillsfarm.com/index.php/passap-shells-afghan/
