Materials Needed
- Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in the following colors:
- Black
- Gold
- Emerald Green
- Deep Burgundy
- Needles: US size 8 (5mm) knitting needles
- Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cast On: Begin by using the long-tail cast-on method to cast on 180 stitches onto your knitting needle. Ensure that your stitches are not too tight, as this will affect the flexibility of your blanket.
- Row 1 (Right Side):
- Knit 2 stitches together (K2tog).
- Now, repeat the following sequence: *Knit 8 stitches (k8), yarn over (yo), knit 1 stitch (k1), yarn over (yo), knit 8 stitches (k8), slip 1 stitch, knit 2 together, and pass the slipped stitch over (sl1-k2tog-psso*). Continue this until you reach the last 2 stitches.
- Finish the row by knitting the last 2 stitches (k2).
- Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches across the row. This will create the smooth, textured fabric of your blanket.
- Repeat Rows: Continue to repeat Rows 1 and 2, alternating colors every 10 rows. Follow this sequence for your colors:
- Black
- Gold
- Emerald Green
- Deep Burgundy
- Continue Knitting: Keep knitting until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length. Make sure to check your measurements regularly to ensure consistency.
- Bind Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to maintain the elasticity of the blanket edges.
- Finishing Touches: Weave in all loose ends using a yarn needle. This will give your blanket a clean finish. Finally, block the blanket to the desired measurements to enhance the chevron pattern and ensure it lays flat.
Congratulations! You have successfully created your very own Art Deco Jazz Age Chevron Blanket. Enjoy snuggling up with it or displaying it as a beautiful piece of home decor!
