Giveaway: Knit Blankets & Throws

Knit Blankets & Throws with Mademoiselle Sophie book review

YarnAddicted is the winner.

Last week I shared a review of Knit Blankets & Throws with Mademoiselle Sophie, and this week I’d like to give one of you a chance to knit your own snuggly blankets for your own couch or as gifts for friends.

If you’d like a chance to win this one, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, Feb. 12. I’d love to know if you’ve knit blankets before and what sorts of patterns you like.

Personally, I knit lots of baby blankets, have a great big Stockinette throw on my couch and have made blankets to comfort friends. And have started a couple of stash-busting blankets that have turned into years-long projects.

Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck!

  1. This seems like a great book! I have knitted blankets before. I knitted the Tree of Life Afghan & various baby blankets. Always looking for some fresh ideas.

  2. I sew, and can’t afford any other habits. I’ve never taken up knitting or crochet, I buy blankets and afgans homemade. There’s nothing that can compare to a hand crafted item!

  3. I like to knit Stockinette blankets when travelling with my husband. After a hard day of touring, he watches sports on TV while I sit beside him and knit.

  4. A number of years ago I made five baby blankets for my sister to give as gifts at showers. I have recently made a cabled throw for both of my parents.

  8. I have knit many baby blankets over the years.Now I knit even more for our church’s welcoming baby baskets. It is always fun to knit things that don’t have to fit!

  9. I love knitting baby blankets! I’m currently working on one that is my first foray into cables, and has some lacework to it too.

  10. I knit baby blankets all the time for friends and family. I am always looking for a new pattern although one of the blankets I knit is a shell pattern and I love that.

  11. I love to knit baby blankets and of course I have a sock yarn blanket in progress that will take several years to finish. Sometimes I wish I had a mindless blanket to work on for car knitting.

  12. I typically crochet my blankets because I can work them up faster than knitting. But if I don’t have a deadline, I would love to knit a few blankets!

  13. I have knit two blankets. One lacy baby blanket and one paneled blanket with simple to intricate blocks. They both turned out beautiful.

  14. I have knitted many things. In fact I kearned to knot at 6 years old. I knitted for many years but with chikdren and work,I haven’t knitted for 25 years.

    The closest I have gotten to a throw or blanket was a doll blanket with a knitted bunny silouette with tail on it.

    I am retired and would love to be able to knit a blanket/throw.

  15. I used to do some pretty intricate knitting, but then stopped for many years. I’ve just recently knitted doll blankets for my granddaughters, but I would like to knit a regular sized Afghan with an easy pattern that repeats so I don’t have to think about it much or have to follow a chart while I knit. If you know of one that’s out there, I would greatly appreciate seeing it.

  17. I have knitted many baby clothes and accessories but not a blanket, so I would love a book of patterns!!!

  19. I have knit several afghans, both full size and baby. I prefer to knit one with an interesting pattern to keep me thinking. There are so many occasions to give a nice blanket for.

  20. I have just finished a toddler blanket and did three baby blankets when the child was a baby. I enjoy knitting for children. Thank you for the giveaway chance.

  22. I’ve only knitted afghans but would really like the chance to try my hand at knitting blankets. Knitting is such a calming project to me.

  28. I have crocheted one blanket but haven’t knitted one yet. I sure would knit my first one if I had this beautiful book!

  30. Just found your blog and look forward to following it! I enjoy both knitting and crocheting throws, baby blankets, and clothing. I seem to gravitate towards projects with a pattern.

  32. My mother and dear grandmother taught me to knit and it always brings me joy to create a blanket or something homemade to pass on. I would love to try a new design from this lovely book.
    Thank you for the opportunity with this giveaway.

  35. I’ve done mermaid blankets for both of my granddaughters along with regular afghans in various patterns.

  37. Between knit and crochet I’ve made several, from baby blankets to a queen size bedspread.There are three on my bed now, one about 30 years old and still going strong.

  38. Beginner knitter here, made 8 afghans for Christmas gifts this past year! Marathon knitting! But I got quite good at simple knitting. Would love to learn cables & other stitches. I have a great grandson coming in April, so am on the hunt for that :perfect: pattern! Thanks for the chance to win this book!

Knits to Make for Your Labubu

Maybe it’s not your Labubu, but if you’ve ever looked at one of those creepy cute dolls and thought “what that thing needs is a sweater,” you’ve come to the right place. These Labubu knitting patterns are super cute and easy to make whatever your skill level. 

If you want to keep it super basic, there’s this Labubu sweater from flourish AND fiber. It uses sock yarn and is worked from the top down in the round with a bit of ribbing on the edges but otherwise in stockinette stitch. It says it’s meant to fit all current regular Labubu plush pendants. 

Another cute pendant project is the Bubu Cardi by Ginko B. This free Ravelry download uses fingering weight yarn and only uses about 35 yards of yarn, so it’s a perfect scrap knitting project. 

Give your Labubu some springtime flair with this sweet little dress pattern by About Yarn. It’s for a 6.5 inch/17 cm doll and is worked in the round using DK weight yarn. 

Or get them ready for cooler weather with this cute beanie from Stephanie Connolly. Available as a free Ravelry download, this pattern uses DK weight yarn and has a hole in the top for Labubu’s ears and pendant to pull through. 

If you want a more whimsical look, try the Labubu headdress by Shino Craft. This one uses sport weight yarn and makes your critter look like a flower. You can buy it on Ravelry.

Add a touch of colorwork with this adorable heart sweat for a Labubu. This pattern is from kelmadeSG and uses fingering or DK weight yarn (maybe depending on what size doll you have?) and is worked flat in pieces. 

Shirley Durmaz made this cute hoodie for a Labubu with two strands of fingering weight yarn (or you could use a DK weight). It’s available on Ravelry.

If your Labubu fan is also a Taylor Swift fan, you’ll want to knit the free Labubu V Neck Cardigan, inspired by Taylor’s Folklore sweater. It uses fingering weight yarn and you can find it on Ravelry.
