Projects made using Fifty Four Ten Studio patterns: Volume #3

It's so fun to see how knitters use my knitting patterns to make special items for their home, family and friends.  I've been keeping a list of projects that caught my eye for several months and now have them compiled here to share the third installment of: "How Knitters Use Fifty Four Ten Studio Patterns".

Click the links on each pattern name or photo to read more about each pattern on my blog.

All photos shared with the permission of each knitter.

Arielle Elizabeth's Lovely 'Happy Endings' blanket:

Arielle Elizabeth shared these beautiful photos of the Happy Endings blanket she made for her new home.  I love her rainy day work-in-progress photo...so cozy!

Cozy knitting!  Happy Endings blanket project. 
In her Instagram post Arielle Elizabeth wrote: "I absolutely love this pattern and the yarn is oOo so soft and washable too.  This pattern is available by the talented @fiftyfourtenstudio who made this project beyond easy to create and my dream of a large couch afghan come true!"  Thanks so much for the kind words!

Arielle Elizabeth used Lion Brand Color Made Easy for this project.  (It looks like it's the 'Wheat' colorway.)

Derek's Fabulous 'All These Places' Blanket:

Last week, I discovered Derek's fabulous gray 'All These Places' project on Ravelry.  Derek used 'Oxford Grey' Lion Brand Pound of Love...knitting two strands together on US 11 knitting needles.  Knitting two strands of worsted weight yarn together is a great way to substitute for bulky weight yarn.  I love this close up photo of his project....beautiful stitches!

Derek's 'All These Places' blanket project looks fantastic!
Derek made the XXL size and added additional pattern repeats to make the blanket longer to be suitable for a tall friend.  Finished size is 51.5" wide x 72" long.  It looks fabulous!

Derek's finished blanket is 72" long!
All These Places blanket knitting pattern is available on Ravelry.  The pattern is also available on Etsy and LoveKnitting.


Katie's Splendid 'Summer Sidewalk' Baby Blanket:

Katie knit this little baby blanket for her newborn son...and finished it just a couple weeks before he was born.  It's beautiful!  She used my 'Summer Sidewalk' blanket knitting pattern and Plymouth Encore Tweed worsted weight yarn in the 'Gray' colorway.

Liz's Cozy 'Westport Blanket':

Liz used Rowan Big Wool in the gorgeous 'Mallard' colorway for her Westport Blanket project.  Her blanket looks lovely and cozy...especially with this inviting breakfast tray!  It was so fun to discover Liz's project on LoveKnitting!

Liz's Westport Blanket looks super cozy!

Jennifer's Comforting 'All These Places' Blanket:

Jennifer finished her first blanket project!  She made this lovely gray blanket using my 'All These Places' knitting pattern.  She used Cascade 'Swaddle' yarn in colorway #208 and US 10 knitting needles.  Jennifer shared on Instagram that she made two of these blankets while a family member was battling illness.  It's heartwarming to know that knitting brought her some comfort as she reflected on happy memories when they traveled to many interesting places. 

Jennifer's All These Places blanket project looks lovely!

All These Places blanket knitting pattern is available on Ravelry.  The pattern is also available on Etsy and LoveKnitting.


Dana's Gorgeous Shawl Inspired by the 'Meadow Lane Blanket' Pattern:

Dana has adapted my Meadow Lane blanket pattern to make this gorgeous shawl.  She is using Uneek Fingering weight yarn in colorway #3002.  She purchased the yarn at Knit-o-Matic and adapted the pattern to work with the thinner yarn.  She told me she cast on 100 stitches with 4 mm (US 6) knitting needles.  The results are lovely!  See more of her work-in-progress photos on Instagram at @danaraeknits.

Claire's Pretty 'Making Plans' Blanket:

Claire shared her first hand knit blanket project on her @Alchemilla72 Instagram page.  She used my 'Making Plans' blanket knitting pattern along with Lion Brand Heartland worsted weight yarn in the 'Yellowstone' colorway.  Her blanket looks fantastic!

Making Plans blanket knitting pattern is available on Ravelry.  The pattern is also available on Etsy and LoveKnitting.


Marcia's Marvelous  'On the Porch' Blanket:

Marcia knit this lovely baby blanket to give as a gift for her new great-nephew.  She used my 'On the Porch' blanket knitting pattern that is simple and easy to knit.  Her project looks fantastic!  She used Lion Brand Color Made Easy bulky weight yarn in the 'Kingfisher' colorway.  

Marcia's 'On the Porch' blanket looks beautiful in blue!
The 'On the Porch' blanket pattern is designed for worsted or heavy worsted yarn.  It's very easy to adapt the pattern for a heavier weight yarn...such as bulky weight...by following the directions for one or two sizes smaller than you would like the blanket to turn out.

On the Porch blanket knitting pattern is available on RavelryLoveKnitting and Etsy.
