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!
START WITH A SIMPLE STRIPE
To ease ourselves in, we started off with a basic stripe arm knitted blanket, two colours of our Mammoth® giant acrylic yarn, 1kg lilac (a new colour for 2022!) and 1kg mint – we kept it simple, cast on 14 stitches, arm knit two rows of one colour, change yarn, and then two rows of the second colour and so forth. Here’s our results: a blanket that measures approx. 140 cm x 75 cm. We love it, those colours are so uplifting and spring feeling.
THE PATTERN
You’ll need: 2 x colours of Mammoth® yarn, we chose our New Mustard and Bright Pink, but it is totally your choice of course. We can’t wait to see your combinations.
Follow the arm knitted blanket pattern from top left, noting each ‘V’ shape is one stitch as shown on the diagram.> Casting on: you have to start straight away with the colour changing when you cast on: There’s 13 stitches (It must be an odd number to get the chevron point to run down the middle of your arm knitting)
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
> There’s 17 rows in total.
> MAHOOSIVE HINT: It can be a little tricky to change yarn colours, don’t worry about leaving a bit of a tail (as your arms will be literally tied up so to cut the yarn close to the knot when you change colours is pretty impossible. Leave a tail on both colours and you will get the lovely alternative mega fluffy reverse! You can trim after as desired.)
>MAHOOSIVE HINT: You may need to shut yourself in a quiet room alone, void of any distractions including children, pets and partners.
