Big Garter Blocks Throw & Afghan (in 5 or 7 colors)

Big Garter Blocks Throw & Afghan (in 5 or 7 colors)

Big Garter Blocks Throw & Afghan (in 5 or 7 colors)

The Design

“Simple. Graphic. At home anywhere.”

We've received a lot of requests to scale up our Garter Blocks Baby Blanket for grown ups—especially for graduation and wedding presents. The simplicity of garter stitch lends itself to primitive and modern decors alike. Knitted in strips (with a little seaming later) it's a very portable project.


The Details

FINISHED SIZES:
Throw: 42 x 42"/107 x 107cm; each of the 49 blocks is 6"/15cm square.
Afghan: 53 x 53"/135 x 135cm; each of the 49 blocks is 7.5"/19cm square.
Yarn information given for throw; afghan size in parentheses ( ). For specific amounts by color, see pattern or contact us.

5-COLOR VERSION:
10 (15) skeins Cascade Yarns Cascade 220 (220 yds/200m each); 2 (3) skeins each of 5 colors; Afghan size shown lower left and center in pale heathers 9460, 9324, 9450, 4001 and 8401. Or approx. 1820 (2800) yds/1664 (2560)m of worsted-weight yarn.

7-COLOR VERSION:
14 (14) skeins Cascade Yarns Cascade 220 (220 yds/200m each); 2 (2) skeins each of 7 colors; Throw size shown lower right in deep heathers 2435, 9459, 2452, 4001, 9408, 4002 and 4006. Or approx. 1820 (2800) yds/1664 (2560)m of worsted-weight yarn.

NEEDLES & NOTIONS
US 8 (5mm) needles, or size to obtain gauge.

GAUGE
Approx. 18 sts = 4"/10cm in garter stitch.


KNITTER'S NOTES
The strength of this pattern is its portability. Until you're ready to seam strips together, it's like having a series of scarves on the needles—perfect for knitting at soccer practice, or while you commute. Be sure to follow directions for counting rows/ridges and leaving adequate tails. If your squares and strips match up ridge for ridge and you have tails waiting for seaming, it will make the sewing up a pleasure.
