How do you knit an entire blanket?
Ok, I want to KNIT a blanket, but I don’t want to knit tiny squares and sew them together.
How do I knit an entire blanket, in one piece?
I was thinking of making a smaller lap blanket, with maybe an intarsia picture in the middle. But I have no idea how…
I’m assuming you mean a grown-up sized blanket not a baby blanket…
It’s very do-able. Use a circular needle – with as long of a connector as you can find. Your blanket stitches will ‘scrunch’ together in the middle when you’re not working on them.
If you’re looking for a pattern, try searching for afghan patterns.
At the site listed below you will find info on knitting flat on a circular needle: http://www.az.com/~andrade/knit/circular.html (scroll down for instructions on knitting flat with a circular needle)
This site has 60″ Circulars: http://www.stretchycirculars.com/index.html
Hope this helps…
