Arm Knitted Blanket | Chunky Knit Chevron Blanket | Free Arm Knitting Pattern
We’ve been loving all the 70’s vibe home interior trends popping up at the moment: mid-century furniture, modern retro aesthetics and nostalgic revival styling. We particularly like the pinks and oranges within the colour palettes and the geometrics, and that has got us thinking: why haven’t we arm knitted a pattern into our chunky blankets yet? Well, there’s a first time for everything!
CHALLENGING OURSELVES WITH A CHEVRON
We were ready for something a little more mind boggling! This arm knitted blanket pattern is definitely for a more experienced arm knitter rather than a beginner as you will be changing yarn colours VERY frequently (every 1-3 stitches!)
But my goodness it was worth it! Just look at it and all its beauty…
Plus, the changing of yarn so often made for a surprising reverse, one which we love just as much.
We think this would look amazing, not just as a chunky statement arm knitted blanket but as a chunky yarn wall hanging. It belongs in a gallery we think!
BUSINESS AT THE FRONT, PARTY AT THE BACK
Simply flip it over and the chevrons disappear, revealing an abstract design to the arm knitted blanket. To get this effect, simply trim and fluff the yarn.
THE PATTERN
CAST ON (ROW 1): start with COLOUR1 (orange), knit one stitch, change to COLOUR2 (pink), knit 2 stitches, change to COLOUR1 knit one stitch, change to COLOUR2 knit 2 stitches, etc. to the end of the row.
> MAHOOSIVE HINT: For this arm knitted blanket pattern, you can follow it from left to right for each row, or at the end of each row, look underneath and follow back from right to left. The pattern is symmetrical so whatever you find easiest
