Knitting patterns for blankets - cosy and comfortable

If you are new to knitting and have little experience, you will be pleased to know that there are also simple blanket designs. These are very easy to make, even for those with no previous experience. So if you don't feel confident to make elaborate knitwear yet, you can start by making a simple blanket. You can use our simple knitting patterns to make your first blanket. The patterns will explain step by step how to get the result you want.

Knitting blankets as a home accessory - or as a gift

A self-knitted blanket is a great alternative to an expensive, bought blanket. Apart from that, you get an individual model that no one else has. By choosing your own colour and pattern, you get an absolutely unique blanket. This allows you to create your very own colourful collection of blankets. No matter whether a large or small blanket, thick or thin, for the bedroom or living room. It is precisely these individual highlights that make your rooms so cosy. Self-knitted blankets create a homely atmosphere and emphasise your taste.

It is also a good idea to give a self-knitted blanket as a gift. No matter whether it's for Christmas, a birthday or for moving into your new home. It is a very individual gift that is both practical and decorative. The recipient will certainly enjoy using it every day. What's more, it's homemade and not a standard model. You have invested time and effort in this gift. This also expresses your appreciation to the recipient and makes your gift something special.

Find the right knitting patterns for blankets

If you've just discovered knitting as a hobby or just want to try something new, you'll quickly find what you're looking for at Crazypatterns. You'll find simple blankets that can be knitted with a very simple pattern. For example, there are patterns for which you only need two colours of wool and a knitting needle. These models are easy to knit for beginners. With these simple patterns you can get a good start in knitting. When choosing a model, make sure that it is suitable for beginners. You can find this in the item description.

You can always go on to more elaborate knitting projects later. The more confident you become with the needle, the more you will be able to knit. Then it will be easier for you to knit a blanket with a higher degree of difficulty. Crazypatterns is of course also aimed at experienced knitters and offers patterns for advanced knitters who are always looking for new challenges.

Ideal for beginners in blanket knitting are, for example:

Knitting Classic Plain Blankets

With a simple blanket in one colour, you as a beginner will succeed in a larger project right away. It takes time and patience, because a large blanket is much more time-consuming than a simple potholder due to its size. You can knit it as a small blanket for a child or as a large version for adults. A version with XXL dimensions ensures that you can snuggle up under it together with your partner. Since you don't need to change colours, you can make them quickly with the matching knitting patterns for blankets. Often all you need to do is knit purl and stockinette stitches. Choose your favourite colour or a colour that perfectly matches your sofa.

Knitting blankets with cable stitch

A chic cable-knit pattern makes a blanket an instant eye-catcher and is not too difficult to make. It's a great way to make yourself cosy on the couch in the evening, perhaps with your own knitted cushions. Crazypatterns has lots of easy knitting patterns for blankets with cable stitches, which are also suitable for beginners.

Don't know how to knit a cable pattern? Then take a look at one of our knitting patterns for blankets on our YouTube channel or in the community.

Multi-coloured ceilings as a splash of colour

Do you love colours and can't decide on one? Then knit yourself a model in several shades with the matching knitting patterns for blankets. How about a blanket in rainbow design, for example? It's a colourful and lively way to spice up your couch landscape and give your home an instant visual boost, even if you don't know much about knitting.

Exciting patchwork design

Patchwork quilts are not difficult at all and are an absolute visual highlight. Knit individual squares in different colours and designs. Finally, you join the pieces together in different arrangements to create a large blanket. These blankets are also ideal as play blankets for children, as they are so beautifully colourful and cuddly.

Knitting blankets for advanced knitters

Already a knitting needle is your best friend? Then why not try your hand at a more challenging project? For example, how about a blanket in the shape of a heart or with a funny saying? Crazypatterns has lots of great knitting patterns for blankets for advanced knitters. You can further develop your skills and realise many creative ideas. Special knitting techniques, completely new shapes and patterns as well as additional details will make your blanket knitting results even more interesting.

These blankets are suitable for advanced knitters:

• Blankets in different shapes
• Motif blankets (e.g. animals, smileys, hearts)
• Blankets with lettering
• Blankets with details (pom poms, tassels)
• Cushions with figures

Different formats are allowed when knitting blankets

You can knit blankets in different sizes, for example 1.20 x 1.80 cm or 1.80 x 1.80 cm. But with our knitting patterns for blankets on Crazypatterns you can also knit blankets in completely different shapes. For example, heart-shaped blankets or other unusual variations are suitable for cuddling. Try out what you like best.

Motif blankets for more variety

With more experience in knitting blankets, you can try variations with different motifs. For example, how about animals or superheroes for children? Alternatively, you can knit hearts, logos and cool motifs for adults. Use one of our knitting patterns to create a blanket with your favourite design and make it unique.

Knit Blankets with Lettering

Whether your own name or the name of your loved ones - with the right inscription you can make your blanket a very individual piece. For example, "Home Sweet Home" is a popular text for blankets. You can also add a funny saying and get really creative. Once you get the hang of it, almost any inscription is possible. Our knitting patterns for blankets will help you get started, but as you gain experience, you can also make your own.

Blankets with details

Add more interesting details to your knitted blanket to make it even cosier and more individual. These can be small pom-poms, for example, but also decorative tassels and fringes that make every blanket look even more inviting.

Knitting Blankets for Special Occasions

Whether it's Christmas, Halloween or Easter, you can knit a blanket to match any event. For example, how about a blanket with Christmas motifs such as reindeer, stars or Christmas elves? For Halloween, you can go a little spookier. Ghosts, witches, spider webs and spiders as well as pumpkins and monsters are ideal for this occasion. For Easter, a themed version is also suitable, for example with lots of colourful eggs, cute chicks, the Easter bunny and various spring motifs. Choose the best knitting patterns for blankets from Crazypatterns to knit your favourite motifs.

Knitting blankets - colourful and varied

If you are an experienced knitting enthusiast, you probably already have many wool colours and a wide range of equipment at home. Crazypatterns always explains exactly what equipment and materials are needed for knitting patterns for blankets. This includes, for example, the right knitting needle and, of course, the yarn in the respective thickness.

You can knit with textile yarn, merino wool or cotton yarn. The softer the wool, the cosier the blanket will be. The fluffy feeling is very important for blankets - you want to make yourself comfortable with it later. And it should feel good and not scratch. When it comes to cleaning the blanket later, you should pay attention to how easy the chosen yarn is to care for. Blended yarns made of cotton or spandex are easier to care for than pure new wool.

What materials do you need to get started?

To get you started, we recommend the following starter kit. With this you can get started right away and knit your favourite blanket yourself:

• Wool in the desired colours
• 2 to 3 knitting needles (different thicknesses)
• 1 circular knitting needle
