INSTANT DOWNLOAD PDF KNITTING PATTERN
Around the Room blanket knitting pattern features an 18-row repeat that creates a modern, reversible texture using only knit and purl stitches. The easy-to-knit, predictable pattern makes this a relaxing project.
Designed for worsted #4 weight yarn, the pattern can be easily adapted for #3 weight yarns.
This modern blanket design is a wonderful choice for baby blankets, throws, and afghans.
The PDF knitting pattern includes instructions for six blanket sizes.
Smooth, solid-color yarns with good stitch definition will showcase the texture best. Gently variegated hand-dyed yarns will also work nicely.
The geometric stitch pattern featured in this design reminds me of special moments shared around the room with family and friends…
reminiscing about favorite memories
showering a bride with heartfelt wishes
watching a movie on a quiet Friday night
celebrating parents-to-be at a baby shower
sharing old stories with new family members
toasting a happy couple on their wedding day
Some of life’s most meaningful moments happen simply by being together in the same room.

DIRECTIONS FOR SIX BLANKET SIZES:
Approximate sizes after blocking…
Baby Blanket: 26” wide x 30” long
Small Blanket: 30” wide x 35” long

Finished size may vary depending on yarn weight and gauge used.
Any of the sizes may be made longer by adding pattern repeats. Each pattern repeat adds about 2.5” to the length of the blanket. Pattern includes estimates for additional yardage needed to make each blanket size longer.

Be sure to buy additional yarn if you plan to add length to your project.
For the blanket shown in the photos, I made the small size blanket using a little less than five skeins of Berroco Pima 100 worsted #4 weight yarn in the ‘Wisteria’ colorway. Shop for Berroco Pima 100: The Yarnery (St. Paul, Minnesota) | Jimmy Beans Wool | Local Yarn Shops
This pattern will work well with many worsted #4 weight yarns in a variety of fibers. This pattern would also work nicely with many #3 weight yarns.
The stitch pattern will show up best with solid color or gently variegated hand-dyed yarns.
See more yarn options in my blog post about more than 25 worsted weight yarns for blanket knitting.
The pattern may also be used with slightly lighter or heavier weight yarns. Select the needle size that gives the best appearance for your yarn.
GAUGE:
Pattern stitch with US size 6 needles: approximately 20 stitches & 30 rows = 4”
I used US size 6 knitting needles. Choose the needle size that gives the best appearance with your yarn and your knitting tension.
This stitch pattern looks best with fairly tight stitches.
Exact gauge is not essential. However, keep in mind that a different gauge will impact the size of the finished project and may require more (or less) yarn.
NEEDLES:
Blanket knit flat, in one piece, back and forth on circular knitting needles in order to accommodate the large number of stitches.
SKILL LEVEL: Easy
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.
Blocking of finished knitting is highly recommended. Please see my blog post for step-by-step tips and photos.
This pattern is written in ENGLISH using standard U.S. knitting terms.
Written pattern with row by row instructions.
