Inside: Written instructions for the loom knit Grandma’s Eyelet Blanket pattern in 6 sizes and complete loom along tutorial videos.
Can I just say…
I’ve been having a blast reimagining the classic Grandma’s Favorite Dishcloth pattern. So far, I’ve added a double eyelet border, used a stockinette center and used it to design a shawl.
Now I’m turning it into a beautiful chunky blanket!
Grandma’s Eyelet Blanket takes the classic square up a notch. The double eyelet edge creates a beautiful border for the smooth stockinette center. Loom knit this easy corner to corner blanket in a variety of sizes from small baby lovey to cozy couch throw.
Pattern contains written instructions for 6 sizes and links to fully-captioned tutorial videos for both right and left handed loom knitters.
