It is said that kindness is always in season. With the challenges many have faced in the last couple of years, it seems fair to say that our awareness of the need for kindness, patience and empathy has only been heightened. As I knit this little blue blanket, the repeating triangles in this design made me think of reaching our arms out to one another… with a touch of kindness.

Be sure to buy additional yarn if you plan to add length to your project.
I used Blue Sky Fibers ‘Sweater’ heavy worsted yarn in the ‘Sea Horse’ colorway. This pattern will work well with many worsted, heavy worsted or Aran weight yarns. Solid color yarn recommended for best appearance of stitch pattern.
See lots of yarn options in my blog post about worsted weight yarns for blanket knitting.
The pattern may also be used with slightly lighter or heavier weight yarns.
GAUGE:
Stockinette stitch with US size 8 needles: approximately 16 stitches & 23 rows = 4”
Exact gauge is not essential. This stitch pattern looks best with fairly tight stitches.
I used US size 8 knitting needles. Choose the needle size that gives the best appearance with your yarn and your knitting tension.
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
