Some of My Favorite Knitting Supplies

Some of My Favorite Knitting Supplies

I’m a sucker for fun knitting supplies. Do you know what I mean? Those knitting supplies that aren’t necessarily essential, but are so cute and so much fun and that just make you happy. Things like cute stitch markers for knitting. Or embroidery scissors shaped like a stork (the scissors are the beak!! Do you […]

A Chunky Garter Stripe Blanket Knitting Pattern

A Chunky Garter Stripe Blanket Knitting Pattern

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a little obsessed with knitting chunky blankets right now. They’re just so squishy and warm and beautiful and warm and soft…and…warrrrrrm! We’re all about the hygge when it’s cold outside and these make it so tempting to sit on my couch with a book (or more yarn!) and a cup […]

A Free Delightfully Chunky Blanket Knitting Pattern

I’m obsessed with super-bulky blankets right now. I love the way they look. I love the way they feel. I love that they have some heft (seriously, it’s like sleeping under a weighted blanket). And I love, love, love that they’re so frigging warm. I’m always cold in this house. Everyone else complains about being […]

Easy Knitting Pattern: Knit The Simple Sailboat Blanket

This easy knitting pattern might be my favorite baby blanket I’ve made recently. I think maybe I say that about all of them because baby blankets, in general, are delightful, and other than someone picking a bad color, I’ve never seen a truly ugly baby blanket. But I especially love this one. Look! Tiny boats! […]

(I was not paid for this post, but I did receive a free kit to review. Read on for a chance to win up to $100 in product from We Are Knitters!) When my sister-in-law visited a few years ago, she pointed out that although I handknit afghans for each of my family members, on […]

The Snowflake Knitting Pattern Redux

The Snowflake Knitting Pattern Redux

I revamped my snowflake knitting pattern. I went back and knit it again, and changed a few measurements and stitch counts (just a little — the old one will still work, but I like this one better).

My Hat Trick (a Fair Isle Knitting Binge)

My Hat Trick (a Fair Isle Knitting Binge)

I finally did it. I conquered my fear of fair isle knitting and now I’m hooked. This seems to happen a lot with yarn work. When I mastered granny squares last year, I spent months crocheting the heck out of them. Granny square coasters. Granny square pillows. Granny square afghans.

Easy Knitting Patterns — Popcorn Baby Blanket

December 6, 2014 By Laura 157 Comments

Easy Knitting Patterns — Popcorn Baby Blanket

The first thing I ever taught myself to knit was a baby blanket. Actually, that’s not entirely true. The very first thing I knit was a scarf. It was 15 stitches across, and all I did was knit back and forth for what seemed like forever until it was long enough to suit me. I wore it […]
