Happy New Year and a blanket design to go along with it. :). I am sharing the Designaknit .stp and a .bmp (Wincrea) of my own hand drawn pattern design. I knit my blanket with a Passap E6000 knitting machine, but this pattern can be knit on any electronic machine with 200 needles. On the Passap, I used 2/24 yarn (double strand of each color). On Passap E6000 use tech 186 for extra wide large throw or tech 187 for smaller lap size. After the cast on (#3), I put both end needles on the front bed for tech 186. Needles 88-0-88. 176 stitches. 1000 lock passes. (250 pattern rows on Wincrea). When the blanket is done, I use this cast off method.
The finished blanket size is approximately 60″ wide by 71″ long after washing (if knit on Passap with Tech186 with 2/24 yarn doubled). Technique 186 will finish out extra wide after washing. This is a great size for an adult throw.
I am sharing my pattern file for Designaknit (.stp) and Wincrea (.bmp) Click here.
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.
