INSPIRATION FOR THE PATTERN NAME:
Game Time...is 8:00 a.m. on a crisp fall Saturday morning when parents and grandparents, bundled in coats, blankets and scarves, take their spot on the sidelines to cheer for the kids.
Game Time...is a chilly afternoon in late November at the championship game where the bleachers are packed with fans...all huddled together for warmth...while the game is played in drizzle and snow.
Game Time...is relaxing at home on a Sunday afternoon...cuddled up under a warm blanket watching a favorite team on television.
Game Time...is pulling out an easy knitting project to enjoy making while watching the game.
The Game Time knitting pattern is very easy to knit while watching a game...or make a blanket or scarf to keep warm at the game!

Scarf: 8.5" wide x 64" long
Baby Blanket: 30.5" wide x 33" long

It is very easy to make any of the sizes longer by adding additional pattern repeats. Each pattern repeat adds about 1" - 1.25" to the length of the project.
The pattern instructions include estimates of how much additional yarn is required to add length to size.

SUPER BULKY YARN:
This blanket pattern is designed for super bulky yarn.
Amount of yarn needed for each size:
Scarf: 205 - 225 yards
Baby Blanket: 440 - 465 yards
Small Blanket: 630 - 660 yards

Solid color yarn is recommended to show the stitch pattern best.
I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick in 'Mustard' for the blanket and 'Pumpkin' for the scarf. I loved using these fall inspired colors...they are beautiful! I have used Wool-Ease Thick & Quick for many chunky knitting pattern designs. There's a reason why I return to this yarn again and again...great color choices, dependable quality and great stitch definition. The yarn is an acrylic / wool blend that has a pleasing 'woolly' feel. Some of my favorite colorways in the Wool-Ease Thick & Quick are 'Denim' (dusty dark blue), 'Glacier' (icy blue) and 'Fisherman' (classic ivory).
If you prefer a softer yarn without any wool content...this project would work great with Lion Brand Hometown USA. If you prefer a more neutral colorway...I'm a big fan of 'Dallas Gray'...which I used for my Westport Blanket knitting pattern.
REVERSIBLE!
The Game Time pattern design is reversible! The stitch pattern does not appear exactly the same on both sides but it looks attractive on both sides.

EASY KNITTING PATTERN:
The Game Time blanket and scarf is very easy to knit!
You will need to know how to cast on stitches, knit and purl confidently, read a row by row knitting pattern, bind off stitches and weave in ends. The two stitch techniques in this design are garter stitch and a K1, P1 repeat (like used for ribbing).
A couple of stitch markers (ring and clip-on style) are helpful for keeping track of the pattern.
