Double Knit Blanket Knitting Pattern

I am doing all that I can to stay warm this week and looking at all sorts of patterns for warm things I wish I could speed knit to get through the current cold snap.

This double knit blanket knitting pattern from Purl Soho, designed by Jake Canton, caught my eye the other day, because the only thing better than a knit blanket is a blanket that’s double the thinkness.

If you’ve never done double knitting before, this is a great way to learn the process, because you’re working with a single color on each side rather than also knitting a colorwork pattern. Every inch you work a tack down row to keep the two pieces of knitting joined, but once you’ve got the basic techniques down this should be smooth sailing.

The pattern is available as a baby blanket or a throw and uses sportweight yarn.

It’s been a while since I shared Easter basket knitting patterns last, so let’s look at some new (and easy!) Easter basket knitting patterns if you’re looking for something new to make this season.

I’m a big fan of little Easter baskets (and I’m pretty sure I shared my little Easter basket pattern before) and this one from Willow Knits is a cute one. It looks like sock yarn and it wouldn’t take much to make one of these tiny baskets. You can make a whole bunch with all your leftovers from your sock knitting adventures, or make them a little bigger with larger yarn or multiple strands held together.

Basketweave is a classic stitch pattern for a basket, and this one from square basket pattern from Noisy Needles Knitting is a great basic pattern that’s easy to customize. The one shown is 3.5 inches or 9 cm square and 2.1 inches or 5 cm tall, but the pattern includes instructions for making it any size you like. Adding a plastic container will make the sides stand up.

If you need a basket and some cute eggs to put in it, check out this pattern from Fitting in Knitting is a great choice. It uses heavy DK or worsted weight yarn and is mostly worked in stockinette stitch. If you don’t make it in super springy colors, you can use this one as a storage basket all year.

This colorful Easter basket from Patterns83 would be a great way to use up some yarn leftovers. It uses two strands held together to make a more stable basket, and as shown uses four colors of yarn.

And if you’re a fan of using a circular knitting machine, I’ve got an easy pattern on my blog for a circular knitting machine made Easter basket. This one is a small size, made with a 22-pin machine, but you could do the same thing on a bigger machine to make a larger version.
