Four Easy Blanket Knitting Patterns

One of the frequent questions I hear from knitters is..."which blanket knitting pattern would be the best choice for a beginning knitter?" 

Over the last 2+ years I have designed and published 17 blanket knitting patterns!  

All of my blanket knitting patterns are pretty easy to knit.  

But, these are my four easiest blanket knitting patterns!

January 28, 2020 UPDATE: My blog has a new location at FiftyFourTenStudio.com

All of these patterns include instructions for multiple sizes so you can use the pattern for a baby blanket, medium size throw or big afghan.

Here's some info about each pattern and links to more info and how to purchase each pattern.

Top Left: On the Porch

My On the Porch blanket knitting pattern is very easy to knit with worsted weight yarn. The pattern can also be used with slightly heavier or lighter weight yarn.

The pattern name is inspired by childhood memories of summer evenings on my grandparent’s screened porch. The simple textured stripe design reminds me of the old, painted wood floor of their porch.

On the Porch knitting pattern is also available on Etsy and LoveKnitting.


Top Right: Summer Sidewalk

My Summer Sidewalk blanket is very easy to knit!  It's designed for use with DK or worsted weight yarn...or slightly lighter or heavier weight yarn.

The design features a wide garter stitch border as well as simple alternating garter stitch and stockinette stitch stripes.

Customers have loved using this pattern for baby blankets!  The pattern includes instructions for five blanket sizes.

Lower Left: The Boulevard Blanket

The Boulevard Blanket is a FREE knitting pattern.  

This blanket is reversible!  And...it's very quick and easy to knit with super bulky weight yarn.

The blanket in the photo below was made with Lion Brand Hometown USA in 'Washington Denim'.  Visit the Lion Brand Yarn website to see the most complete selection color options in Hometown.

Some knitters have also liked knitting two strands of worsted or bulky weight yarn knit together.

The pattern includes instructions for six blanket sizes.


The Boulevard Blanket knitting pattern is FREE on Ravelry and LoveKnitting.


Lower Right: Where the Sidewalk Ends 

This blanket is fun to knit with super bulky yarn!  The finished blanket is chunky and cozy.  

This blanket makes a great gift for a baby, toddler, teenager heading off to college, graduation, first apartment, wedding...and so many other occasions.

The simple design will look great in almost any decor style.  A solid color yarn will show the pattern best.  I love how this blanket looks made with Lion Brand Hometown USA in 'New York White'!

All of these blankets are very easy to knit.  I love hearing from beginning knitters who enjoyed using these patterns.  I especially love it when they email photos of their finished blankets...it's so fun to see that they had success making a special blanket for themselves or to give as a gift!  (Click here and here to see some projects knitters made using Fifty Four Ten Studio patterns.)

I love fall in Kansas City...cool days...leaves turning to beautiful shades of red, orange and yellow...taking a walk and hearing the leaves crunch under my feet...it's really a lovely time of year.  It's also a great time to knit! I have a couple new knitting projects in the works...more info on those soon. :)

Thanks so much for your interest in my knitting patterns!

Happy knitting!
